Video: Why you should hire a non-fiction ghostwriter from us.

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

Thomas Wolfe

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

Michael Burke

It is only natural to pattern yourself after someone. But you can’t just copy someone. If you like someone’s work, the important thing is to be exposed to everything that person has been exposed to.

Bob Dylan

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

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

Tom Clancy

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

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

Lisa See

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

You can always edit a bad page. You can’t edit a blank page.

Jodi Picoult

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

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

Edward Albee

I have a structured songwriting process. I start with the music and try to come up with musical ideas, then the melody, then the hook, and the lyrics come last.

John Legend

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

Dan Poynter

Asking a working writer what he thinks about critics is like asking a lamppost how it feels about dogs.

Christopher Hampton

The reason 99% of all stories written are not bought by editors is very simple. Editors never buy manuscripts that are left on the closet shelf at home.

John Campbell

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

Steven Bochco

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

William Goldman

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
