Author Quotes

No one really knows the value of book tours. Whether or not they’re good ideas, or if they improve book sales. I happen to think the author is the last person you’d want to talk to about a book. They hate it by that point; they’ve already moved on to a new lover. Besides, the author never knows what the book is about anyway Picture Quote #1

There’s this creative thing in me that wants to have my work used - like the author of a book who wants it read Picture Quote #1

There is no evidence that the author of the Book of Revelation, John of Patmos, read anything that we think of as a New Testament book. I don’t see any evidence that he knew what was in the Gospels, or the letters of Paul, which I don’t think he would have liked at all Picture Quote #1

Adapting a book is essentially a collaboration, whether the author is alive or dead Picture Quote #1

Hollywood would much prefer the author be dead, so that they can buy the book and do what they want to do with it Picture Quote #1

One of the things I like about publishing is that you don’t promote the editor - you promote the book and the author Picture Quote #1

Shorter work - personal essays and book reviews - allow me to take a break from working on a book, which is good for the book and for its author Picture Quote #1

I was a latecomer to romance, although I did read gothics. My father used to work for the ‘Fort Worth Star-Telegram,’ and their book reviewer, author Leonard Sanders, would pass on the gothics for my dad to give to me since Leonard didn’t review gothics. I gobbled up books by Mary Stewart, Madeleine Brent, Victoria Holt and Phyllis Whitney Picture Quote #1

I certainly think that the publishing houses have to learn more about this informal network of literary blogging and get over the idea that sending an author on a book tour - to Dallas, Houston, Los Angeles - is a successful model anymore Picture Quote #1

Readers really want to come back to an author; they do not want a one-book wonder. That is all very well, but to be career author, you have to be prepared to write one really good book and then write another really good book and keep feeding your readers. You build your audience over a long time Picture Quote #1

I took up a sort of a hobby of just hanging around the local library. I’d pick out an author and I would read all their books Picture Quote #1

Unlike the stereotypical author, I’ve never had a job as a short-order cook, but I love cooking hot breakfasts for lots of people, juggling the eggs and the bacon and the tomatoes and the fried potatoes and so on Picture Quote #1

An author is like an incompetent bricklayer - doesn’t use mortar and keeps rearranging the bricks until someone tells him to stop Picture Quote #1

The author points out that novices to total war, and this Hitler and the British press have in common, overreact to daily events and lose sight of overall strategy Picture Quote #1

Blogs are easy to start, but unless the author is famous, it takes years to build a following Picture Quote #1

There’s an epigram tacked to my office bulletin board, pinched from a magazine -- Wanting to meet an author because you like his work is like wanting to meet a duck because you like pÃƒÂ¢tÃƒÂ© Picture Quote #1

In performance capture roles, it’s not a committee of animators that author the role, it’s the actor. I think that’s a significant thing for people to understand Picture Quote #1

Everytime we say that God is the author of some phenomenon, that signifies that we are ignorant of how such a phenomenon was caused by the forces of nature Picture Quote #1

Becoming an author changes your attitude too. Once you see where books come from, and how they’re made, they never seem quite as sacred again Picture Quote #1

The author deduces the best way James Baker serve Reagan as Chief of Staff was to continually remind him why he wanted to be president Picture Quote #1

My son, Wolf, was born when I was past 40 and the author of a best-selling novel. That means he has grown up a middle-class child - one who sometimes asks me for stories of my childhood but knows nothing of what it means to grow up poor and afraid. I have worked to make sure of that Picture Quote #1

He has heard two languages through childhood, the one spoken with ease at home, and the other spoken with ease in the streets and at school, but spoken poorly at home Picture Quote #1

I’m one of those very lucky people who absolutely love what they do for a living. There is no career better suited to my eccentricities, strengths, and passions than that of a children’s book author Picture Quote #1

The work of one author or artist may stimulate another author or artist to push the edge, to take the risk, to go where the field hasn’t gone before. The result -very exciting children’s literature and art ... exciting both for the professional and for the intended audience, the children Picture Quote #1

I still pinch meself when I wake up of a morning. Who ever thought I’d be a children’s author - let alone a best-selling children’s author? Picture Quote #1

In terms of a narrative nonfiction book, when you’re describing scenes that you have multiple sources for, and that you have differing sources for, and you decide to choose a path that puts all that information together, well yeah, there’s definitely going to be a little bit of the author in that. But there’s nothing wrong with that Picture Quote #1

Why should any man have power over any other man’s faith, seeing Christ Himself is the author of it? Picture Quote #1
