Video: Ghostwriting reviews from clients about our ghostwriter services.

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

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

Sidney Sheldon

It took me fifteen years to discover I had no talent for writing, but I couldn’t give it up because by that time I was too famous.

Robert Benchley

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

Plot is, I think, the good writer’s last resort and the dullard’s first choice.

Stephen King

When writing a novel, that’s pretty much entirely what life turns into: “House burned down. Car stolen. Cat exploded. Did 1,500 easy words, so all in all it was a pretty good day.”

Neil Gaiman

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

I haven’t got 10 rules that guarantee success, though I promise I’d share them if I did. The truth is that I found success by stumbling off alone in a direction most people thought was a dead end, breaking all the 1990s shibboleths about children’s books in the process.

J.K. Rowling

Read a thousand books and your words will flow like a river.

Lisa See

If you start with a bang, you won’t end with a whimper.

T.S. Eliot

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

E. B. White

My aim is to put down what I see and what I feel in the best and simplest way I can tell it.

Ernest Hemingway

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

C. J. Cherryh

Work on a computer that is disconnected from the Internet.

Zadie Smith

Editor: A person employed by a newspaper, whose business it is to separate the wheat from the chaff, and to see that the chaff is printed.

Elbert Hubbard

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

Easy reading is damn hard writing.

Nathaniel Hawthorne

There are three primal urges in human beings: Food, sex, and rewriting someone else’s play.

Romulus Linney

Every writer with half a brain knows to surround himself or herself with editors who are smarter, far more articulate and infinitely better looking.

Chris Claremont

It’s an accepted fact that all writers are crazy; even the normal ones are weird.
