On Writers and Writing is Margaret Atwood's collection of essays on the craft, drawn from her years of lecturing and her own practice as a novelist and poet. It is the trade paperback edition of the book published in the UK as Negotiating with the Dead, so shoppers may see both titles for the same text. Atwood is a shrewd, funny guide rather than a rule-giver, which sets it apart from how-to manuals and puts it closer to Stephen King's On Writing in tone but with more literary range. It suits readers who want insight into how fiction gets made, and students who need a readable companion to Atwood's novels.

Reviewers treat it as one of the better books on writing by a working novelist, praising Atwood's wit and range. Some find it more reflective than instructive and note that it expects a literary background.
