Text Quotes
While growing up, I always had to depend on foreign authors for page-turners. I think of myself as a commercial writer, and my job is simple to entertain you  (Authors Quotes) Some books and authors are best sellers, but most aren’t. It may be easier to self-publish than it is to traditionally publish, but in all honesty, it’s harder to be a best seller self-publishing than it is with a house  (Authors Quotes) It’s not easy making a living as a writer, and for many years I worked at a Waterstones in Dublin. It was a good environment for an aspiring writer, with lots of events and authors appearing  (Authors Quotes) It’s great that there are so many different kinds of books for kids and adults to choose from. I think an eclectic reader is the best kind of reader to be, which would be why I was always so satisfied to hear that kids read the Baby-Sitters Club books and then went on and discovered other authors and other genres  (Authors Quotes) The general public doesn’t expect romance authors to be Harvard graduates. Which is funny, because there are actually quite a lot of us. But this disconnect means that journalists see me as an interesting story. The tricky part is making sure they understand that there are many, many talented writers who don’t have ‘fancy’ educations  (Authors Quotes) I love reading religious authors. Especially in the sort of circle I move in, people tend to be more secular, and I love reading books by just really smart people of religious faith. It’s always a really cool perspective  (Authors Quotes) Many great authors of the 19th century wrote under conditions of strict censorship. The great thing about the art of writing a novel, is that you can write about anything. All you have to say is that it’s fiction  (Authors Quotes) Aside from John Grisham, there isn’t really anybody besides Tess that I’ve truly gotten into. But, I do like them. When I have more time to read, I will absolutely look for some more authors. It’s just about finding a world and a character that you’re intrigued by  (Authors Quotes) I’ve heard that some authors do dream their books and I would love that if it happened to me, but so far it hasn’t. Sometimes I’ll get a good idea during the night and if I don’t write it down, I won’t remember it the next morning  (Authors Quotes) Publishers, editors, agents all have one thing in common, aside from their love of cocktail parties. It’s an incredible taste and an ability to find and nurture authors  (Authors Quotes) Often in the past, there have been authors that were deeply disappointed in their adaptation, but that’s because they haven’t accepted the fact that a movie is a different thing, and it can’t possibly be the same as the book  (Authors Quotes) I tend to really enjoy being swept up in fiction. I love a good story and I admire fiction authors.  (Authors Quotes) Sex and death, the magnetic poles of fiction, attract us children’s writers no less than adult authors, but we have to be more leery of their pull.  (Authors Quotes) Among all kinds of Writing, there is none in which Authors are more apt to miscarry than in Works of Humour, as there is none in which they are more ambitious to excel.  (Authors Quotes) I always thought it would be really, really cool to play Edgar Allan Poe, because when I was a kid, he was one of the authors who really blew my mind open to all sorts of weird dark and twisted places.  (Authors Quotes) It feels wonderful to get praise from other authors who I admire, but with each new book, my confidence is always the thing I struggle with the most until I start getting positive feedback from readers.  (Authors Quotes) Maybe just as many women writers as male writers could be billed as the next great American writer by their publisher. Maybe book criticism sections could review an equal amount of female and male writers. Maybe Oprah could start putting some books by women authors in her book club, since most of her audience is women.  (Authors Quotes) It’s better not to know authors personally, because the real person never corresponds to the image you form of him from reading his books.  (Authors Quotes) By reading a lot of novels in a variety of genres, and asking questions, it’s possible to learn how things are done - the mechanics of writing, so to speak - and which genres and authors excel in various areas.  (Authors Quotes) I’ve done a lot of interviews of the last few years, and I’ve actually started a list of questions that it would be fun to ask an author, but no respectable interviewer would ever ask. Since I’m not respectable, I’m going to start doing interviews with some authors I know, just for fun.  (Authors Quotes) When I was young, I assumed that authors must have traveled the world or done exotic things in order to tell great stories.  (Authors Quotes) Authors can get an attitude of us-against-them when it comes to publishers, but learning how authors and editors can work together taught me to look at my work in a different way and to make that work as solid as possible before it ever goes to the publisher.  (Authors Quotes) What’s interesting to me is how many vampire/urban fantasy authors are writing young adult series as well, often set in the same world as their adult books, but focused on a younger audience.  (Authors Quotes) I shun authors, and would never have been one myself, if it obliged me to keep such bad company  (Authors Quotes) In practice, the copyright system does a bad job of supporting authors, aside from the most popular ones. Other authors’ principal interest is to be better known, so sharing their work benefits them as well as readers.  (Authors Quotes) Many books owe their success to the good memories of their authors and the bad memories of their readers.  (Authors Quotes) Ridley Pearson also plays bass guitar and sings with the Rock Bottom Remainders, a band made up of such successful authors as Amy Tan, Stephen King, and Dave Barry-a band that, according to Barry, plays music as well as Metallica writes novels.  (Authors Quotes) When authors who write literary fiction begin to write screenplays, everybody assumes that’s the end. Here’s another who’s never going to write well again.  (Authors Quotes) I think that black fiction authors have to work very hard to avoid being typed as seeking only a black audience.  (Authors Quotes) Authors change publishers because it’s like being married for a long time and suddenly you want to go out and have a wild affair! No, not seriously, sometimes the deal is more interesting with a new publisher, and other times they have more enthusiasm for your books.  (Authors Quotes)
