At Maine University Steven King became interested and active in student politics. During his second year he also started writing a regular column for the school's weekly newspaper. He graduated in 1970, gaining a B.A. in English. He also qualified to teach classes at high school.

King was very interested in books. He first met his wife-to-be, Tabitha, in the Maine University's Fogler Library, when they were both students. They married in 1971. But from 1967 he had been writing some short stories for men's magazines. In his early days of marriage he was still writing occasional short stories, but his regular income was from manual work in an industrial laundry.

In 1971 he got a job as a high school teacher, teaching English, but in his own time he was still writing short stories and composing novels.

In 1973 his book 'Carrie' was accepted for publication by Doubleday & Co, and his career as a book writer began.
