I'm a member of HubPages.com, which is a writing site for about 100,000 writers (as opposed to bloggers). Several of us have commented how much we gained from this little book of yours, but we'd love to read your impressions now that ebooks and self-publishing are available to the aspiring author. Any chance of a new edition?

Not likely as he has too many other projects he would like to get done. And he doesn't have much experience with self-publishing so not sure he could write about it to give any advice to aspiring writers. Even the books he has "self-published" were done much more easily than a new writer would be able to as he has the contacts and name recognition that enable them to be profitable and so wouldn't be from the POV of a just-starting-out writer.

I'd like to know about how could I sent to Stephen or where could I publish my results for his task, which he's described in the Chapter 5, that Stephen himself can prove them. Thanks for your answers.
Welcome anton! Unfortunately, Stephen is no longer accepting those assignments. But have a look around and join the conversations, lots of good people here.

I'd love an updated version of On Writing, if only to cover the inspiration for the novels written since '99.....but I'd prefer King follow his muse and write what he wants. :)
