Publishing Quotes

I was 40 years old before I became an overnight success, and I’d been publishing for 20 years Picture Quote #1

The press doesn’t stop publishing, by the way, in a fascist escalation; it simply watches what it says. That too can be an incremental process, and the pace at which the free press polices itself depends on how journalists are targeted Picture Quote #1

Frankly, I’d rather make a little bit less money if it means living in a better world for books and publishing in the future Picture Quote #1

I do not apologize for advertising. I think it is as vital to the preservation of freedom in my country as the free exercise of publishing a newspaper or the free exercise of building a church or the free exercise of the right of trial by jury Picture Quote #1

You’d better discover a more important motive than publication for your work or else you’ll go crazy. My sense is that you’ll be writers only if you are convinced that to write is something for which there is no substitute in your life. You must therefore be ambitious for your work rather than for its promotion. The good news here is that if you assign secondary importance to publishing and primary to writing itself, you will write better, and will thus increase your odds of getting publishing Picture Quote #1

As soon as you start publishing, you are the star and so people see you that way Picture Quote #1

When you start, the world of publishing seems like a great cathedral citadel of talent, resisting attempts to let you inside. It isn’t like that at all. It may be more difficult now, and take longer than when I started to write, but there’s a great, empty warehouse out there looking for simple talent Picture Quote #1

Writing is rewriting. A writer must learn to deepen characters, trim writing, intensify scenes. To fall in love with the first draft to the point where one cannot change it is to greatly enhance the prospects of never publishing Picture Quote #1

We just have to go at 100 miles an hour in all our businesses, be they television broadcasting, be they magazine publishing, be they subscription television, be they online, be they gaming. We just have to go at one hundred miles an hour Picture Quote #1

A tiny portion of the population controls the lions share of the wealth and most of the command positions of state, manufacturing, banking, investment, publishing, higher education, philanthropy, and media... these individuals exercise a preponderant influence over what is passed off as public information and democratic discourse Picture Quote #1

It’s always helpful to look outside of the web for your inspiration, to places where you might not at first expect to find a solution. The world is a collage of inspiration, from newspapers, magazine publishing, and advertising to product design, architecture and the fine arts Picture Quote #1

The trouble with the publishing business is that too many people who have half a mind to write a book do so Picture Quote #1

As publishing has become less expensive, the urge to write my own self has become the opportunity to publish my own self. Everyone now can afford to preach in the desert Picture Quote #1

I was four when I announced my ambition to write, eight when I began publishing such claims Picture Quote #1

If writing and publishing a book is like giving birth to a child, then book marketing is like rearing it Picture Quote #1

I didn’t think before that I’d done enough to justify publishing an autobiography but after 40 years in show business I’m now ready to tell my story Picture Quote #1

Until I became a nurse, no one had ever asked me to sign a book contract. I had been writing for decades, read thousands of books, and even worked in publishing for 10 years. Who knew that nursing would be my break? Picture Quote #1

The liberty of thinking and publishing whatsoever each one likes, without any hindrances, is not in itself an advantage over which society can wisely rejoice. On the contrary, it is the fountainhead and origin of many evils Picture Quote #1

I’m not an overnight success. My early publishing history, through my first five books, was unfortunate in many respects, typified by a couple of short anecdotes Picture Quote #1

Honestly, the essence of publishing hasn’t changed. Since the days of the cave man carving stuff on the cave walls, people have wanted stories, and storytellers have wanted an audience. That is still the case. The changes are really a matter of format Picture Quote #1

Criticism is part of being in the marketplace. If you can’t take a bit of criticism, you shouldn’t bother publishing a book Picture Quote #1

I always tell students that writing a poem and publishing it are two quite separate things, and you should write what you have to write, and if you’re afraid it’s going to upset someone, don’t publish it Picture Quote #1

Fame, money and the size of the market are not very important to me. What is, is writing a book that is worth doing and then publishing it. I don’t write books for entertainment, for people to pass the time then throw away Picture Quote #1

I think I’m gonna attach myself to the sinking ship that is book publishing Picture Quote #1

When I was growing up the publishing world seemed so far away. When my mother wrote a book, she would look up the address of publishers on the backs of the books she owned and send off her manuscript Picture Quote #1

All the traditional models for doing things are collapsing; from music to publishing to film, and it’s a wide open door for people who are creative to do what they need to do without having institutions block their art Picture Quote #1

I like businesses in transition, first of all. If ever there were a business in transition, it is publishing Picture Quote #1

With the movies, people are not going to wait around. The deadline is a deadline. In publishing it’s more a polite suggestion Picture Quote #1

I have been blessed to have the same editor and work for a great publishing house Picture Quote #1

There’s a lot more to publishing a book than writing it and slapping a cover on it Picture Quote #1
