I’ve had mainstream readers complain that the book is really a romance, and romance readers complain that the book isn’t a romance - with the same book! It really depends on the individual reader’s expectations going into the story, and that’s very hard to predict person to person Picture Quote #1

Just like writers can have a lot of different styles, so can readers. It’s hard to pigeonhole book buyers Picture Quote #1

What readers ask nowadays in a book is that it should improve, instruct, and elevate. This book wouldn’t elevate a cow Picture Quote #1

In general, I think, less is more, and that if a reader stops reading because a book is too icky then I’ve failed in my obligation to the readers Picture Quote #1

Most people don’t have the money to spend on advertising to create awareness among readers, nor do they have the contacts at newspapers or magazines to get their books reviewed Picture Quote #1

Literary men now routinely tell their readers about their divorces.

Seize the Story’ takes readers all the way through the process of writing fiction, from beginning to end. Every element, from dialogue to setting, plotting to character creation, is laid out and illustrated with examples. But the tone of the book is not that of a dry writing manual - it’s definitely written for teenagers Picture Quote #1

I’m a fan of meeting readers face to face, at reader events, where we’re able to sit down and take some time to talk. Too often, at regular book signings, I meet readers who have traveled six or eight hours to see me, and I’m unable to spend more than a few short minutes chatting with them as I sign books 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

In general, I write for ages 12 and up - although I’ve received emails from readers between the ages of seven and seventy. My books are science fiction Picture Quote #1

Readers in general are not fond of dialect, and I don’t blame them. I’ve read books myself that I’ve had to put down because sounding out every speech gave me a headache Picture Quote #1

Every time I write a new novel about something sombre and sobering and terrible I think, ‘oh Lord, they’re not going to want to go here’. But they do. Readers of fiction read, I think, for a deeper embrace of the world, of reality. And that’s brave Picture Quote #1

Readers are often fans of Authors, but I, myself, am a fan of readers. They are the ones who breathe life into the pages that we give birth to, after all Picture Quote #1

The bright future is that readers are accepting more varied forms of stories Picture Quote #1

In the end you’re not made or broken by prizes. Your relationship is with your readers, not a prize, and you just have to keep on honoring that Picture Quote #1

I often visit Maria Tatar’s ‘The Grimm Reader’ for a cold dose of courage. Her translations come from the Brothers Grimm, whose now-famous collection of ‘Kinder- und Hausmarchen’ (‘Children’s and Household Tales’) was first published in 1812. The book was not intended for young readers Picture Quote #1

My readers and my audiences have turned into my followers. They are more than interested in what I have to say in the subjects of sales, loyalty, attitude, networking, business social media, and becoming a trusted advisor Picture Quote #1

Chinese readers are buying books in translation, particularly non-fiction about China, in large numbers Picture Quote #1

I think people underestimate the romance audience. It’s everything from career women to high school girls to elderly women. I have male readers, too, especially for the Civil War books Picture Quote #1
