Readers Quotes

But because we’ve all been readers, we know what the experience is like, and we hope that what certain writers have given to us, we will give to someone Picture Quote #1

Readers have actually changed the way I’ve done things, changed the course of my career even, about four or five times. Just from reader feedback Picture Quote #1

Most books set in England between 1800 and 1840 have a ‘Regency’ feel. The reason that era is so useful for romance authors stems from the wide-ranging social changes that were occurring over that time, and the parallels, or echoes, those create with our time and the lives of our readers Picture Quote #1

The written tone and the spoken tone change and the reporters’ disbelief in the veracity of the government spreads to the readers and the viewers Picture Quote #1

As a rule, I don’t worry about genre. I just want to tell a good story, with characters that interest me and my readers Picture Quote #1

My books are primarily plot driven but the best plot in the world is useless if you don’t populate them with characters that readers can care about Picture Quote #1

The readers are very similar. The books they know, the questions they ask, the characters they like. That is similar Picture Quote #1

The best books come from someplace deep inside.... Become emotionally involved. If you don’t care about your characters, your readers won’t either Picture Quote #1

I’ve never chased the dollar, I’ve always chased the reader’s heart. I love having more readers. The more people who read it, the more thrilled I am Picture Quote #1

I think the thinking is, in the comic books, I should pack as much onto a page as possible, because, you know, it’s kind of the cheaper format, and you want to give readers as much as you can for their dollar Picture Quote #1

If chick-lit really is taking a commercial battering, I’d suggest it’s because the marketing has been done to death. Covering everything in girlie pink and putting chocolate in the title may once have been a clever Pavlovian device but now makes readers feel a bit sick Picture Quote #1

Experts in literacy and child development have discovered that if children know eight nursery rhymes by heart by the time they’re four years old, they’re usually among the best readers by the time they’re eight Picture Quote #1

I think anytime you’re writing to the middle grades, you’re writing to young readers who are trapped in a number of ways between two worlds: between childhood and adulthood, between their friends and their parents Picture Quote #1

Some people become passionate readers and fans of science fiction during childhood or adolescence. I picked up on SF somewhat later than that; my escape reading of choice during my youth was historical novels, and one of my favorite writers was Mary Renault Picture Quote #1

My first generation of young readers now have not only children, but some of them have grandchildren to whom they’re introducing their old passion Picture Quote #1

I hope children will be happy with the books I’ve written, and go on to be readers all of their lives Picture Quote #1

Children’s books have great potential to reveal new possibilities to readers, because the intended audience is at an age of genuine learning Picture Quote #1

I can’t promise that every child with learning differences will become a novelist, but I do think all children can become lifelong readers Picture Quote #1

A children’s book is the perfect place where young readers can understand the world because they can take a deep breath and look at it and imagine and contemplate while they’re looking at Picture Quote #1

Children’s books are often seen as the poor relation of literature. But children are just as demanding as adult readers, if not more so. I should know. I’m a children’s writer myself Picture Quote #1

A drop in younger children visiting libraries is of great concern. As children’s laureate, I am passionate about the role of libraries, both in schools and in the wider community. They are unique places where children can begin their journey as readers, as well as being creative hubs Picture Quote #1

I’m excited to see Cassie’s fans and how they react to the ending of ‘Clockwork Princess!’ I love hanging out with readers and seeing the energy readers bring to a room: seeing so many people united in imagination is going to be wonderful Picture Quote #1

Many readers fail to realize this, but ‘The Color Purple’ is a theological text. It is about the reclamation of one’s original God: the earth and nature Picture Quote #1

Canada is a country where the serious writers are hockey fans and readers of comic books. They don’t play chess Picture Quote #1

Readers have told me that their children have learned to read after years of struggle after starting to read Garfield’s comic strip and many people who have moved to the United States have said that they, too, learned English by reading Garfield Picture Quote #1

I have a variety of readers from across the diasporic community, not just from South Asia. I like to write large stories that include all of us - about common and cohesive experiences which bring together many immigrants, their culture shocks, transformations, concepts of home and self in a new land Picture Quote #1

We have a tendency to think of war as this quasi-mystical thing, and that interpretation flattens the experience - by using different perspectives, I wanted to open a place for readers to compare and contrast, to make judgments, to engage Picture Quote #1

I wanted to make an explicitly educational comic that taught readers the concepts I covered in my introductory programming class. That’s what ‘Secret Coders’ is. It’s both a fun story about a group of tweens who discover a secret coding school, and an explanation of some foundational ideas in computer science Picture Quote #1

We didn’t have all the distractions that young people have today. We didn’t have these incredible computer games and social networks to engage with. I understand that. But once young readers do discover reading, when they discover a book which they fall in love with, it really unleashes something new in their imagination Picture Quote #1

I do have to earn a living, so I’m conscious of probable reactions from readers, but the most important one is still the awareness that if I’m not enjoying a story, the reader won’t either Picture Quote #1
