Publishing Quotes

I don’t Twitter or blog. I’m bad at small talk, and don’t have good ‘chat’. Talk to me about publishing, and I can go on for hours Picture Quote #1

I begin early in the morning and edit everything I wrote the previous day. I write until mid-afternoon. My goal is to write a chapter per week, and if I am not finished by Friday, I write on the weekend. I get a lot of fan emails and answer them every day. In the late afternoon, I attend to the business of publishing, etc 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

If you don’t put 99 percent of yourself into the writing, there will be no publishing career. There’s the writer and there’s the author. The author - you don’t ever think about the author. Just think about the writer. So my advice would be, find a way to not care - easier said than done Picture Quote #1

What makes a publishing house great? The easy answer is the consistency with which it produces books of value over a lengthy period of time Picture Quote #1

I started publishing stories in small magazines early on, but after seven or eight or nine years you feel like you need a little more than that to show for your efforts Picture Quote #1

Determining the value of individual texts has been an ideological scuffle in literary criticism for centuries: but the environmental cost of printing them hauls this dispute from the ivory tower into day-to-day decision-making. Is it right to write? The publishing industry is slowly beginning to commit to using sustainably harvested trees Picture Quote #1

The publishing industry stopped having new ideas out of respect for the untimely death of Ernest Hemingway in 1961 and has been doing everything the same way ever since Picture Quote #1

The publishing scene in India is evolving rapidly, and the key challenge is to keep reinventing oneself so that one does not become formulaic. Sometimes it is safer to deal with the consequences of failure than the fruits of success. Remaining on one’s toes is critical, and often one finds that success makes one complacent Picture Quote #1

When we started publishing, you had to be better than good. You had to be excellent. But as long as people are reading, I don’t care what they’re reading Picture Quote #1

When I was publishing my first books, the previous generation of authors was fading away, so I was welcomed because I was a new author Picture Quote #1

I had written a book. For various reasons, the publishing industry had decided that my book was going to be ‘important.’ The novel had taken me 12-and-a-half years to write, and after being with the book for so long, I had no real perspective on the merits or demerits of what I had written. I hoped it was good, but feared that it wasn’t Picture Quote #1

There’s a lot of funding of the media and film in particular, literary publishing gets recognized as culture. I think fashion should too Picture Quote #1

One of the things that’s great about New York is that it is not a one-industry town. It has education, academia, the service industry, arts, publishing, theater, politics, fashion, finance, as well as movie-making Picture Quote #1

Even though I got a late start, first publishing an essay when I was 50 years old, I’ve since written eight suspense novels Picture Quote #1

So I’m leaving Sony, a free agent, owning half of Sony. I own half of Sony’s Publishing. I’m leaving them, and they’re very angry at me, because I just did good business, you know 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

[Mark] Twain was a publisher. He published General Grant’s Memoirs (a big success) and had a hand in the publishing of many of his own books. He would, I think, be very keen about the question of how a book would sell Picture Quote #1

Publishing my book is like giving it away. At first you start talking about it, but you are basically letting go. I won’t say it’s like giving birth because I haven’t given birth. It’s more like when your children leave home Picture Quote #1

One of the things that probably drew me to writing was that it was something you could get on with by yourself. Publishing means going public. But the actual activity could scarcely be more invisible. And private Picture Quote #1

Perceval Press a publishing house I founded in 2002 and it’s still going strong. Strong for us means not so many books per year, but each one we very carefully design and print Picture Quote #1

Online advertising works, although it lands especially on search engines like Google and Yahoo. They achieve much higher revenues online than the websites of publishing companies Picture Quote #1

If you have a song that you think sounds like another song you should contact the publishing company and say I have a song here, let’s cut a deal that lets everyone walk away feeling good Picture Quote #1

Bloggers and other flavors of lone wolf are publishing heart-wrenching photo-essays from the front line of the recovery effort. Newspapers and TV networks? They’re writing about the temperature of the water in some part (they don’t specify which) of some damaged reactor, illustrating it with video screen grabs of machinery they don’t understand enough to explain Picture Quote #1
