- Mr. King, author of over 350 written works, is the 2003 recipient of The National Book Foundation Medal for Distinguished Contribution to American Letters, awarded each year to a writer who has enriched our literary heritage over a life of service or a corpus of work. He is a six-time winner of the Horror Guild Award; the holder of the 2007 Mystery Writers of America Grand Master Award; and the recipient of O. Henry, World Fantasy, Us Magazine and countless other awards since he began publishing in 1967.
His latest novel, 11/22/63, published by Scribner, hits stores on November 8, 2011.
Savannah Book Festival board president Stephanie Duttenhaver says, "We are extremely excited to welcome Mr. King as the guest of honor at our Fifth Annual Festival. His willingness to appear is a testament to the reputation and growth of our festival, which now rivals any festival in the country for talent, author access and charm."

There is no one on this planet, aside from friends and family, who I love and cherish more than Stephen King. He was the inspiration for my writing career. When our great King of fiction is gone, it's going to be like losing a father. Thank you and bless you for uploading this!
He’s not gone yet.
I was the kid at 50:55. Man, I was SOOO happy.
You know, Stephen being a former high school English teacher, whenever I hear your question, it always sounds like you reversed the classic "Teacher-to-Student" question: "What is your favorite book and why?" You flipped the roles on the Teacher! LOL! :D
Awesome. May I ask, what is your top book (or two) of his?
Misery is my favorite Stephen King book and movie.
Draven i liked Delores Claiborne
As novels, I would put 'It' and 'The Stand''. ''Misery' is amazing, though.
Stephen King is always worth listening. Even as a public speaker, he is a genuinely wonderful storyteller. He comes on at 06:45. He answers from the audience after 46:40
11/22/63 was and is a fabulous book. Thanks for all the great reads.
Love that book!!
He should've rephrased that: "Clap if you saw the movie but didn't read the book."
*Applause*
*Whips out rifle*
"I'm just somebody who's spun bullshit into gold."
For those who don't care about the annoying folks at the beginning, skip to 6:45
Thank you!
The single greatest American author. Bar none! Without a doubt.
Except for Cormac McCarthy. But I love Mr. King and have read, I think, almost everything he has ever written.
Been a long time since I read a novel. Gotta catch up on about 10+ Stephen King novels and get off the pc for awhile. I miss reading!
lovey dovey and "all sparkly" that lined cracked me up ALL HAIL THE KING
outstanding content Blue Voyage Productions, LLC. I broke the thumbs up on your video. Maintain up the fantastic work.
Stephen King is numero uno!
To be that famous and talanted...with tons of confidence etc. and still be so damn humble all the time! I wish more people could be like that. Love that rare combination in human beings. If I ever become famous in some way (yeah right..haha) I would try to be like that. What an inspiration he is!
If you know his personal story, then you know exactly why he's like that. He had to WORK his fingers to the bone at a typewriter to make his mark. When you've truly earned what you have through hard work, it keeps you humble.
I love Stephen King. I started reading his work in 1984. I started off with Skeleton Crew,a collection of short stories, The Stand, and Pet Semetary.I have bought every book but, being the slow reader that I am, I have not read them all yet.1st thing on my bucket List. Because to me, you haven't lived until you read Shephen King..The Dark Tower series is my favorite. Thank you so very much for this upload. To this true fan and "constant reader" It was a most enjoyable view of my favorite author.
I can listen to king all day, he is such an interesting character
WOW, thank you so much for uploading. I love Stephen King.
Long live the King!
Nice hp lovecraft profile pic
Stephen fuh-fuh-fuh ~ freakin' ~ KING, man . . . I just love this guy.
I'd like to add my thanks for uploading this.
Many thanks from admirers from far Russia. Good health and long years of life to you Mr. King.
Stephen King's Imagination and literary talent is Virtually Unparalleled.
@BlueVoyageTV Yes, I agree with you: my hat is also off to the organisers of that event. It is a real treat for someone like me, living in London, to be able to watch this entire talk. Well done to the organisers. And thank you to those who filmed & uploaded it to You Tube.
Thank you for the kind words.
"I like those Lee Child books a lot" Oh god. This man. Just when you think he can't get more likable, he manages to make you like him more.
There is a interview with him and Lee child
I think he is a twat waffle
@@Wally-pu2hh what did you misspell, twat or waffle?
I´m not even a writer, but I started to read King´s work when I was 13 (in 1984). When he´ll be gone, I´m going to miss him for the rest of my life. I read a lot, but the writer I´ve read the most is King.
i love you stephen king...please keep up your work
The greatest and most honest line spoken by an author: "Vampires were okay until Stephanie Meyer spoiled them for me."
Thank you for the awesome upload! My favorite author!
Thank you so much to 'BlueVoyageTV' for uploading this Stephen King talk.
I think the camera operator was drunk
Fuck yeah! He read A song of ice and fire, King you don't know how cool you are.
this man is a national treasure and a god among men! what I wouldn't give to have even a fraction of the imagination and creativity he has even on his worst days!
Thanks for uploading! King is a funny man.
All hail the Crimson King...
i wish i was there ufff i love stephen king cheers from mexico fellas and viva stephen king!!!
This is just Stephen King doing a stand-up set, and I love it!
Was James Patterson at this event? Was he tossed out for not being a writer?
Yeah i understand completely. This one person has taught me that fear can spark incredible creative energy if you put your mind to it.
I know this will sound weird to some people and to some they will sadly know where I'm coming from. Stephen King saved my sanity as a teenager. When i read his books i could leave my horrible home life for a few chapters at a time. When people talk about his drug/alcohol abuse. He's human. Shit happens. Mr. King is the one who told us He had a problem. He's overcome His addictions and is a better man for it. Be like Stephen King!
@ZachClooney Thank you for the time cues. This was a first class event by the Savannah Book festival. My hats are off to the organizers.
That crapper autograph would be a true collectible.
I don't even want to think about the day he'll be gone :(
27:51 -- I remember when you could smoke in a hospital bed. You could always find the nurses' station. You just looked for "the cloud". Speaking of clouds, I remember when you could smoke on a passenger jet. Polite people, of course, would turn on the exhaust fan to draw the smoke out...but still. And, it seems like only yesterday, there wasn't a restaurant, in the whole world, that didn't have, at least, a "smoking section". You could send your kid, down to the store, to buy your cigarettes FOR you. No one batted an eyelash.
What's REALLY interesting (particularly if you happen upon the topic of "gateway drugs") is that "candy cigarettes" & "bubblegum cigars" are STILL being sold in many of the convenience stores that I frequent today. Considering all that we know about the dangers of smoking, it seems bizarre, at best, that we are continuing to target our kids with this shit. What's next? Candy syringes? Candy Kalashnikovs? Candy K-Y Jelly?? I guess some things change, and some things don't.
In any case, God Bless Stephen King...He is solely responsible for getting me to read for pleasure. I had always been a fan of monsters, and used to buy those models (Frankenstein, Dracula, etc.) that you would glue together, and then, paint. But I had had never been a big reader. On a whim (I think it was the cover that attracted me), I picked up a copy of 'Salam's Lot". 'Didn't even know who Stephen King was...'Had never heard of him. But the description, on the cover, was enough to hook me. 'Spent the next several weeks sleeping with the lamp on...Not a nightlight, but a FULL-ON lamp. I felt quite certain, at the time, that it would save my life.
Stephen, I hope that you & your family are well, and that things are good wherever you are.
6:39
At the 1:05 mark he discusses the story idea that he and Stewart O'Nan wrote, called "Faces in the Crowd" to be published in August.
i love him
It would be fun to talk to him and I'm a Reds fan by heart but I gave up on major league sports and standard media for the most part. Of course, Mr. King is a big part of standard media but he's one of my exceptions! =D
When I saw Kubrick’s The Shining as a young person I liked it - watching it recently I literally LOL at it - it’s so ridiculous it’s funny. I agree with King that it misses the story - it misses the point of his book by miles!
Check out the ABC Miniseries if you havnt already. Its more true to the book🙂👍
Mort Rainey, “ The Secret Window” , prequel please 🤍
39:10 Tell us a story, Mr. King! 🤩
So funny - I hated Lord of the Flies at School, but I read Moby Dick, The Spy that came in from the Cold by Steinbeck and Orwell's 1984. My English teacher laughed at me. I stared her out.
As much as I like the movie, the book does bring lot more to the reader - the character depth, the horror. I wasn't scered of the visuals in the movie, but the book did scare me at some times. What was strange in the book was the Danny character was sometimes having thoughts of five years old and sometimes thoughts and vocabulary of an adult. Also the ending is more believable in the movie, its hard to believe that five years old driven to hallway with no way of escaping can reason with murderous supernatural entity and prevent it from killing him... But thats only me. I enjoyed both and like the book much better. Sometimes I borrow visuals from the movie though, especially the hotel interior and exterior.
Stephen King is painfully funny here.
OMG Stewart O'nan is in the crowd!
I love 'The Shining', the movie, and I love Jack Nicholson and his portrayal in it, but Stephen King has a point...
Read the play,"Angelica and Francesca." It is spectacular.
Very much
You welcome.
King comes on at 6:47
I think the Shining movie/ book debate is a false dichotomy. The film isn't an adaptation, it's a stand alone film (and a masterpiece in it's own right) with completely separate thematic concerns from King's book.
So please, just appreciate them for what they are.
I think that’s fair and I try to think about it the same way. On the other hand you can’t really blame people for feeling that way/having that debate considering they are titled the same and the film is absolutely an adaptation of the book- I mean they share the same general plot, it’s literally said in the beginning that it’s based off of the Stephen king book. There’s always going to be a debate over this kind of stuff when it comes to book to movie transitions. But I do agree with you that the film is absolutely stellar and that it should be judged on its own merits. This is the advantage of being a non reader, never having to see a beautiful, well thought out book condensed and morphed.
I’m reading 1984 now and can attest to it being a “wicked bummer” lol. I still think it’s super interesting and even more relevant, but it’s depressing as hell to the point where I just want to get through it
What a beautiful talk. He sure knows how to make my tongue tie up and I talk a lot. I want to remind him that I am waiting for a moment to see him alone. I do not have a car. He can help me look for one. 🍺 congratulations on your marriage 1971 - I would like to see you.
i love his Creep Shows
@WooferMcWooferson You are welcome
Stephen King knows how the story starts but not how it will end. John Irvings isnt boring for for the wsy he writes. He knows how the book ends but doesnt quite know how he'll get there.
"Secure Stephen King."
This kind of language tells you all about their approach.
you have spun bullshit into gold. that is so true. you are also the salesman, and you are one of the best.
43:00 wtf is the camera man doing😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
does he talk about 'Carrie'?
riofan5 not in this one but he does in some other speeches on RUclips. Interesting fact about it, he threw away the manuscript and his wife fished t out of the trash. If it weren’t for her it would have never been published
Stephanie 😍🫠
34:25 Name just one (1) other writer this cool... :-)
42:00 + Get it together, camera-person! 😒
0:26:00 the camera man fell asleep
Maybe you're gone before him man, who knows.
26:00 Get it together, camera-person.
Was the cameraman drunk?
Yes
Oswald has def been disproven. People just don’t accept factual events.
My cell phone shall not be silenced!!!!
👍
Could very well be.
'Guest of Honor' does not operate as a verb.
HTH
Why does the audio on these things always have to be so shitty.
The unfinished story King mentions would be more interesting if the guy would see only dead people on the stands behind the batter at the baseball game. Now that would be scary.
Can someone explain the 'what happens when a codependent dies?' joke? :$
'guest of horror' 👻👀
Well we did get Biden as president... under better circumstances though
Wimpy applause. 1-3 minutes at least would seem appropriate.
Writers are subversive.
Stephen King , you're a dung beetle
That woman has no business being on stage.
