As I see it, my job as a writer isn’t to judge, but to take a reader as far inside as I can and let them dwell there Picture Quote #1

The art of fiction is one of constant seduction. You must persuade the reader on page 1 to start reading - on page 50, or page 150 and yes, on page 850 Picture Quote #1

Suspense is one of the ways you persuade a reader to become engaged and stay engaged with your work Picture Quote #1

Making things difficult for the reader is less an attack on the reader than it is on the age and its facile knowledge-market Picture Quote #1

The practice of employing metaphor and image and composition and linguistic choices to move the reader through the content Picture Quote #1
