Publishing Quotes

Booksellers are tied to publishing - they need conventional publishing models to continue - but for those companies, that’s not the case. Amazon is an infrastructure company; Apple sells hardware; Google is really an advertising company. You can’t afford as a publisher to have those companies control your route to market Picture Quote #1

My earliest books focus almost entirely on psychological tools to help readers employ effective commonsense approaches to problems. There are no references to God or a higher self in the first 15 or so years of my publishing history Picture Quote #1

I have people working together, doing different things: architecture, art installation, photography, publishing, and curatorial works and design Picture Quote #1

I felt the comics grew because they became the common man’s literature, the common man’s art, the common man’s publishing Picture Quote #1

The original idea of blog publishing was that writer and reader would be on the same level. That it would be a conversation - not a lecture. People lost sight of that. We didn’t. Kinja is designed to break down the walls of the ghettos. So that everybody - editor, writer, source, subject, expert, fan - can be a contributor Picture Quote #1

I had a hard time publishing my books in the beginning of my career, because editors were afraid what people would think of THEM, personally, if their name was associated with me Picture Quote #1

Some of the biggest changes that have happened are behind the scenes, in the way we produce the magazine. E.g., much of our production has been brought in-house via desktop publishing 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

There’s a bizarre prejudice that exists in the New York publishing establishment that any work outside the tri-state area is being done by trained chimpanzees, that geography screens out sensibility. There’s an idea that all Los Angeles writing is about the movie industry, that it’s vulgar, shallow and banal Picture Quote #1

I like to joke that I probably hold the world record for rejection letters. Yes, the truth is that I was fed up of being rejected repeatedly, and self-publication was an act of defiance at traditional publishing. But life works in strange ways Picture Quote #1

Despite what you hear about the publishing industry being a fixed game that you can only get in if you know somebody, I’m here in person to tell you it ain’t so. If your stuff is really any good, sooner or later some editor will take a chance on you Picture Quote #1

Nothing like being visible, publishing one’s work, and speaking openly about one’s life, to disabuse the world of the illusion of one’s perfection and purity Picture Quote #1

I think publishing’s strength is also its weakness. It’s got such a rich and celebrated history as an industry. For the most part, publishing people are incredibly creative, business is done based on the strength of relationships, and the product being peddled is books Picture Quote #1

This is my job, my livelihood: the health and the well-being of the publishing industry. We’re all responsible for this Picture Quote #1

Being a writer now is about so much more than writing. There’s publishing, touring, marketing, web presence 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

When I was seven or eight years old, I began to read the science-fiction magazines that were brought by guests into my grandparents’ boarding house in Waukegan, Illinois. Those were the years when Hugo Gernsback was publishing ‘Amazing Stories,’ with vivid, appallingly imaginative cover paintings that fed my hungry imagination Picture Quote #1

Any institution becomes a community - whether it’s a high school or a boarding school or a publishing company or a small town where everybody knows certain things about people Picture Quote #1

One of the greatest threats facing book publishing, and the entire country for that matter, is censorship Picture Quote #1

I feel very discouraged with the state of gay and lesbian publishing because I don’t feel like we’re really welcome in the mainstream and then you get ghettoized and put on some lesbian book club reading list where you don’t want to be either Picture Quote #1

What with the reviews of critics, the sarcasms of one’s friends, the reproaches of one’s own taste, there’s precious little peace after publishing a book Picture Quote #1

I publish my own books, so there isn’t a certain editor I owe the book to at a publishing house Picture Quote #1

I lived through a classic publishing story. My editor was fired a month before the book came out. The editor who took it over already had a full plate. It was never advertised. We didn’t get reviewed in any major outlets Picture Quote #1

One of the best book marketing tips I can give you is simply building relationships - well that and publishing more books Picture Quote #1

Say you’re an American novelist, published by the largest publishing house in the world.

I wanted to highlight that whole dreadful process in book publishing that ‘nothing succeeds like success.’ Picture Quote #1

My grief is that the publishing world, the book writing world is an extraordinary shoddy, dirty, dingy world Picture Quote #1
