Video: Ghostwriters for books!

If you're not comfortable with your writing skills, or your ability to structure a complex story, or you just don't have the time to write, you should hire a ghostwriter.

Books aren’t written, they’re rewritten. Including your own. It is one of the hardest things to accept, especially after the seventh rewrite hasn’t quite done it.

Michael Crichton

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

Edward Albee

It always comes down to characters, and individual stories about courage.

Steven Bochco

The road to ignorance is paved with good editors.

George Bernard Shaw

Have something to say, and say it as clearly as you can. That is the only secret.

Matthew Arnold

Easy reading is damn hard writing.

Nathaniel Hawthorne

My own experience is that once a story has been written, one has to cross out the beginning and the end. It is there that we authors do most of our lying.

Anton Chekhov

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

If the sex scene doesn’t make you want to do it — whatever it is they’re doing — it hasn’t been written right.

Sloan Wilson

The character that lasts is an ordinary guy with some extraordinary qualities.

Raymond Chandler

Good instincts usually tell you what to do long before your head has figured it out.

Michael Burke

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

Writers aren’t people exactly. Or, if they’re any good, they’re a whole lot of people trying so hard to be one person.

F. Scott Fitzgerald

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

E. B. White

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

T.S. Eliot

What I loved most about calling myself a reporter was that it gave me an excuse to show up anyplace.

Jeanette Walls

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

If you haven’t got an idea, start a story anyway. You can always throw it away, and maybe by the time you get to the fourth page you will have an idea, and you’ll only have to throw away the first three pages.

William C. Gault

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

Thomas Wolfe

The first chapter sells the book; the last chapter sells the next book.
