I couldn't have opened a store without putting books with the clothes. I am still writing as I have always done, and have published my ninth book L'envers à l'endroit last year. I am currently working on a dictionary of my favourite words.

The Princess Bride S. Morgenstern's Classic Tale of True Love and High Adventure You had to admire a guy who called his own new book a classic before it was published and anyone had a chance to read it.

Honorary degrees and lifetime achievement awards are very encouraging. I know that it might sound strange that a writer who has published many books still needs encouragement, but this is true.

I had published a co-edited book with Oxford a decade ago, my first book actually. Years later I found myself having lunch with Lori Stone, who was an editor at Oxford at that time. We connected at a conference and over the course of lunch she told me about a wonderful new series she had just developed called Understanding Research.

I don't know what started me, I just wrote poetry from the time was quite small. I guess I liked nursery rhymes and I guess I thought I could do the same thing. I wrote my first poem, my first published poem, when I was eight-and-a-half years old. It came out in The Boston Traveller and from then on, I suppose, I've been a bit of a professional.

It took me 10 years to write a story that pleased me - that I could look at after it was published and not cringe.

You are going to have to give and give and give, or there's no reason for you to be writing. You have to give from the deepest part of yourself, and you are going to have to go on giving, and the giving is going to have to be its own reward. There is no cosmic importance to your getting something published, but there is in learning to be a giver.

I wrote my first short story for a competition and won second prize. Another competition came up and I won first prize. The first story was published in a newspaper. The second went out on radio.

If you want to write a book that's very successful and famous, then it's hard. If you just want to get published, all you have to do is convince an editor that your idea will make them money.

Even after Sword was published, I was still only thinking about the next book, Elfstones.

Snooki is now a published author. I'm blaming Sarah Palin. She lowered the bar.

There's a tendency for adults to label the math that they can do (such as identifying patterns, choosing between competing offers in a supermarket, and challenging statistics published by the government) as common sense and labeling everything they can't do as math - so that being bad at math becomes a self-fulfilling prophecy.

I do feel like especially nowadays, we are inundated with the message that, Oh my god, you aren't making your own clothes? You didn't make your own bread? And you also don't have a career and you don't look unbelievable and you have 5 pounds on your frame? Where is your book that you haven't published yet?

There is only one definition of science fiction that seems to make sense: 'Science fiction is anything published as science fiction.'
Norman Spinrad

I think new writers everywhere need opportunities to get published.
Greg Egan

I remain convinced that the most valuable use of time for a newly published author is to write a second book that's even better than the first, and a third that's better than the second, and on and on.
Suzanne Brockmann

I read a lot and fell in love with comics and science fiction. I even self-published some of my comics when I was 16 or 17.

What's most interesting about some books is the question: How did this crap ever get published?

Graham Wallas has reminded us that writing as compared with speaking involves an impression at the second remove and reading an impression at the third remove. The voice of a second-rate person is more impressive than the published opinion of superior ability.
Harold Innis

I worked on my book for about seven years and I had no idea it would be so timely when it was published.

As a graduate student, I wrote a long paper connecting the dots between mathematical models of learning and language development in children. It was published in a major journal.
