Video: What’s in our ghostwriting services contract.

Stories are never too long or too short. They’re too interesting or too boring.

William Shawn

It is perfectly okay to write garbage — as long as you edit brilliantly.

C. J. Cherryh

Writing is the only thing that, when I do it, I don’t feel I should be doing something else.

Gloria Steinem

A blank piece of paper is God’s way of telling us how hard it to be God.

Sidney Sheldon

Ever heard of a carpenter not going to work because he has “carpenter’s block”? If a writer can’t write, it’s because he doesn’t really want to, he isn’t ready to get it on paper or he’s just plain lazy.

Chet Cunningham

Socially, a journalist fits in somewhere between a whore and a bartender. But spiritually he stands beside Galileo. He knows the world is round.

Sherman Reilly Duffy

Thank your readers and the critics who praise you, and then ignore them. Write for the most intelligent, wittiest, wisest audience in the universe: Write to please yourself.

Harlan Ellison

If one cannot enjoy reading a book over and over again, there is no use in reading it at all.

Oscar Wilde

Anecdotes don’t make good stories. Generally, I dig down underneath them so far that the story that finally comes out is not what people thought their anecdotes were about.

Alice Munro

No one can write decently who is distrustful of the reader’s intelligence or whose attitude is patronizing.

E. B. White

If my poetry aims to achieve anything, it’s to deliver people from the limited ways in which they see and feel.

Jim Morrison

In Hollywood, the woods are full of people that learned to write but evidently can’t read. If they could read their stuff, they’d stop writing.

Will Rogers

Everybody walks past a thousand story ideas every day. The good writers are the ones who see five or six of them. Most people don’t see any.

Orson Scott Card

A true author, no matter the medium, is an artist with godlike knowledge of his subject, and the proof of his authorship is that his pages smack of authority.

Robert McKee

No writer has ever yet been known to hang himself as long as he had another chapter left.

Thomas Wolfe

Critics are people who sit on the mountaintop and look down on the battlefield. When the fighting is finished, they take it upon themselves to come down from the mountain and shoot the survivors.

Robert Altman

I have long felt that any reviewer who expresses rage and loathing for a novel is preposterous. He or she is like a person who has just put on full armor and attacked a hot fudge sundae or banana split.

Kurt Vonnegut, Jr

A writer is a world trapped in a person.

Victor Hugo

Writing has laws of perspective, of light and shade, just as painting does, or music. If you are born knowing them, fine. If not, learn them. Then rearrange the rules to suit yourself.

Truman Capote Quote

Do you know what a playwright is? A playwright is someone who lets his guts hang out on the stage.

Edward Albee
