Jennifer Weiner
I have the best divorce of anyone I've heard of.
Jennifer Weiner
Maybe it stems from my newspaper-reporting days, but I took notes the whole time - getting the call, how I felt. As soon as I put pen to paper, it became a story [Hunger Heart], not something happening to me but something I was recording.
Jennifer Weiner
My publisher feels that my readers are loyal to the voice of my stories, the characters I'm creating.
Jennifer Weiner
Being a novelist is hard for anyone - male or female. You don't get to quit your day job.
Jennifer Weiner
Many writers secretly long to be performers. You always get the 'if you weren't a writer' question. I would be a back-up singer, to stand in the back and go like 'do, do, do.
Jennifer Weiner
The idea you can tell a writer of a specific religion to stop writing about that religion is presumptuous.
Jennifer Weiner
If you put a pink cover on something, critics make a certain set of assumptions and may not even read the book. But my readers are happy with it.
