Readers Quotes

Readers, transformed by film and TV, are used to seeing stories. The reading experience . . . is increasingly visual Picture Quote #1

Violence is inevitable in crime novels, but there are many different ways to tell a story. I use my characters’ reactions to illustrate the worst moments rather than let readers witness them at first hand Picture Quote #1

I’ve always written in first person. It gives the readers more insight Picture Quote #1

At first blush, it seems odd that loser lit books are rejected initially, then go on to be fiercely loved by legions of readers. This apparent contradiction might be due to the fact that if they didn’t screw up their lives, most losers would be the kind of power-elite, Type A go-getters whom readers love to hate Picture Quote #1

The act of sharing with readers was at first too much of an intimate thing. But it evolved into an intense necessity to share Picture Quote #1

That first meeting - the one where the hero and heroine start the slow burn that takes the whole story to turn into true love - is the single most important part of the whole book. Nail it, and you’ve won yourself readers Picture Quote #1

I don’t know who made the first Aquaman joke. I’m sure it was comics readers; maybe we all did. But it’s the idea that the perpetuated story of Aquaman is that he only has powers in water, and he talks to fish. I think it’s the idea of him in the middle of a city just doesn’t make a lot of sense to people. It’s just the character itself Picture Quote #1

Think of it: television producers joining with newspapers to tell stories. It’s journalism of the future. Advertising will follow the crowd - the ‘crowd’ being viewers and readers, of course, which could bring revenue back into journalism Picture Quote #1

I’m just trying to keep things rich for me creatively and for the readers who follow me Picture Quote #1

The most important thing is readers. I’ve got a huge Twitter following, but I don’t really think it sells books; I don’t think a huge Facebook following sells books - although these things aren’t bad, of course Picture Quote #1

I didn’t think much about foreign readers when I began ‘Naruto,’ but I knew that many of the artists who influenced me had already been accepted overseas Picture Quote #1

I receive emails from readers that both break my heart and give me a profound sense of connection. Several months ago, I received an email from a teacher who told me that ‘Legend’ was the first book one of her troubled young students had ever read to the end. He cried when he finished it. Stories like that stay with you forever Picture Quote #1

A key goal for an author of history is to persuade his or her readers to forget what they know and to relive the world as it unfolded for characters of the time - with outcomes uncertain Picture Quote #1

We talk about a free press. These people hide, they make a lot of money off the media. They hide behind the slogans of free press, and then they can come out with crap like that. It’s just garbage. It’s insulting to the readers Picture Quote #1

All writers and their readers should stand up and voice their opposition to financial services companies censoring books. Authors should have the freedom to publish legal fiction, and readers should have the freedom to read what they want Picture Quote #1

I try to write stories that are thrilling and full of mystery and funny all at the same time, stories that raise moral questions but come up with very few moral answers, stories that emotionally touch readers through the characters Picture Quote #1

Laughter is healing and helpful and fun, and I see my role as an entertainer, and I want readers to leave my books smiling Picture Quote #1

It’s funny, because readers think they want the characters to be blissfully happy, but it makes it kind of boring for the reader 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

You don’t need attention to write. All you need is passion for your work and an overwhelming desire to tell a story you genuinely care about. Readers can sense your sincerity and it separates you from pretenders Picture Quote #1

Making sure that the geography and timelines work is always the hardest part of writing. But you owe it to the readers to get it right! Picture Quote #1

Some people ask why we don’t just wait until we have the whole story before posting. The fact is that we sometimes can’t get to the end story without going through this process... When a story is up and posted, it’s amazing how many people come out of the woodwork to give us additional information... And readers love it Picture Quote #1

Funnily enough, the Federal Reserve produced comics about monetary policy, and there is a good comic book guide to microeconomics and macroeconomics out there. But it is not really appropriate for younger readers; it is really aimed at economics students Picture Quote #1

Kids who are nine, 10 and 11 are pretty sophisticated readers; they know that there isn’t always a good outcome every time and that problems don’t always have solutions Picture Quote #1

Technology is mostly a force for good, but it has its downsides, too. I want my students - and my readers - to be intelligently skeptical about technology and be informed about the good and the not-so-good parts Picture Quote #1

Poetry is not a silent art. The poem must perform, unaided, in its reader’s head. Educated readers give themselves a good performance. Educated listeners compare performance with text and with other performances. Good poets use the full resources of language Picture Quote #1

I want my readers to feel, to think, sometimes to laugh. But most of all I want them to enjoy a good read Picture Quote #1

The Good Soldier’ is an odd and maybe even unique book. That it is a masterpiece, almost a perfect novel, comes as a repeated surprise even to readers who have read it before Picture Quote #1

I just hope that readers and publishers continue to appreciate good writing and good storytelling in all their various forms. And I hope that people continue to read books, even though we have so many other options for entertainment Picture Quote #1

I wanted to write about racism and xenophobia in 21st Century England and Ireland, but I wanted to do it in an exciting way so that I could reach more readers. Zombies seemed like a good way to do that Picture Quote #1
