In 1938, Louise Rosenblatt introduced reader response theory or the transactional view of reading.

What’s the function of poetry? It’s to express general truths, to connect with the reader and make him think: ‘Wow, I’ve experienced that, but you’ve expressed it so much better.’ Picture Quote #1

I don’t think about the gender of my readers or about reader expectations. I’m frankly scared to. I figured out a long time ago that if I tried to guess the audience, it would be like me trying to guess which stocks to buy Picture Quote #1

The opening lines of a book are so important. You really need to somehow charm your reader. If you can’t get her attention in the first pages, you may have lost her. There has to be an ambience Picture Quote #1

I confess that I am a messy, disorganized and impatient reader: if the book doesn’t grab me in the first 40 pages, I abandon it.

I’d always been a big reader. I credit my mom for giving me my love of reading Picture Quote #1

The reader deserves an honest opinion. If he doesn’t deserve it, give it to him anyhow Picture Quote #1

I don’t think anyone wants a reader to be completely lost - certainly not to the point of giving up - but there’s something to be said for a book that isn’t instantly disposable, that rewards a second reading Picture Quote #1

Whether you do stand-up comedy or write a story, you have a duty to deliver. As a comedian, you walk out on stage, and you have a minute to hook them, or they’ll start booing. As a writer, it’s very similar. A reader doesn’t have time to say, ‘I’ll give him 50 pages, as it’s not very good yet, but I hope it’ll get better.’ Picture Quote #1

Characters written in 1990 would be acting like idiots if they were cast into the present. For example, the reader might wonder: Why isn’t she texting? Where’s her cellphone? Can’t she have a simple paternity test? For God’s sake, look on the Internet and check him out! Picture Quote #1

Tis the good reader that makes the good book; in every book he finds passages which seem confidences or asides hidden from all else and unmistakenly meant for his ear; the profit of books is according to the sensibility of the reader; the profoundest thought or passion sleeps as in a mine, until it is discovered by an equal mind and heart Picture Quote #1

A good story is a dream shared by the author and the reader. Anything that wakes the reader from the dream is a mortal sin Picture Quote #1

Naturally, the reader has access only to the events I show and the way I show them, but as has been said, there’s generally a good deal of ambiguity in that presentation Picture Quote #1
