Video: Find a ghostwriter - nine reasons to choose us.

If you wait for inspiration to write, you’re not a writer. You’re a waiter.

Dan Poynter

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

Matthew Arnold

I’m writing a book. I’ve got the page numbers done.

Stephen Wright

Substitute “damn” every time you’re inclined to write “very”; your editor will delete it and the writing will be just as it should be.

Mark Twain

A good novel tells us the truth about its hero; but a bad novel tells us the truth about its author.

G.K. Chesterton

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

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

To me, movies and music go hand in hand. When I’m writing a script, one of the first things I do is find the music I’m going to play for the opening sequence.

Quentin Tarantino

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

C. J. Cherryh

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

Thomas Wolfe

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

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

Oscar Wilde

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

Raymond Chandler

I write the last line, and then I write the line before that. I find myself writing backwards for a while, until I have a solid sense of how that ending sounds and feels. You have to know what your voice sounds like at the end of the story, because it tells you how to sound when you begin.

John Irving

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

I do not over-intellectualize the production process. I try to keep it simple: Tell the damned story.

Tom Clancy

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 not place a photograph of your favorite author on your desk, especially if the author is one of the famous ones who committed suicide.

Roddy Doyle

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

Jim Morrison

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