I've heard a lot of editors and agents say, If the book is good, it will get published. I totally disagree with that.
Micah Perks

You have think tanks like the widely respected Atlantic Council that have published reports in the past year that have called Afghanistan a failing state.
Khaled Hosseini
Image
You can go back and try to generalize, but then you end up saying things that all editors say about everything that ever gets published. Something about voice, about urgency, about actually having a story to tell.
Lorin Stein
Image
At least I'm at peace with myself. I have done my best to write a book about what really happened there and why it happened and it's done, it's published. I won't write another book on Vietnam.
Neil Sheehan
Image
To a historian libraries are food, shelter, and even muse. They are of two kinds: the library of published material, books, pamphlets, periodicals, and the archive of unpublished papers and documents.
Barbara Tuchman
Image
There are some singer-songwriters who start out as poets. So someone like Leonard Cohen wrote and published poetry in the early 60s, but then started writing songs. Bob Dylan's a poet in the sense of bard, aoidos or vates.
Richard F. Thomas
Image
In the history of literature there are many great enduring works which were not published in the lifetimes of the authors. If the authors had not achieved self-affirmation while writing, how could they have continued to write?
Gao Xingjian
Image
Papanicolaou published for 15 years before anyone would listen to him, but now you find (the) ACS extolling the virtue of the Pap test.
Daniel S. Greenberg
Image
For those of you haven't read the book, it's being published tomorrow
David Frost
Image
I write for the love of writing. If I never published another book, I would still be writing stories.
Christine Feehan
Image
The first chess book that I read was Dufresne's self-tutor, published with Lasker's Common Sense in Chess as an appendix.
Vasily Smyslov
Image
In the US. Infantry Manual published during World War II, the soldier was told what to do if a live grenade fell into the trench where he and others were sitting: to wrap himself around the grenade so as to at least save the others. (If no one volunteered, all would be killed, and there were only a few seconds to decide who would be the hero.)
Anatol Rapoport
Image
People loved to talk about how Frank O'Hara didn't really care about getting published. That doesn't jibe with my experience.
Eileen Myles
Image
If you read three books a day you couldn't read all the poetry that's being published.
Robert Hass
Image
It took me seven years of writing before I published my first story. And then, the publications trickled in over the next five years.
Rob Roberge
Image
One thing, however, I know with certainty: violence, or the direct threat of violence, of the kind we have seen in the past few days, is totally unjustified as a response to any published word or image.
Timothy Garton Ash
Image
One newspaper even published one of my nude paintings - the one of me naked from the waste up.
Cleo Moore
Image
Before I had published anything, I still hung out with people who liked to write. None of us had published, so there was no talk about the business, and there was probably a lot more angsty talk back then. But these days maybe there are some more laments about the culture, but I would say no.
Chang-Rae Lee
Image
I've had three novels published, and I was working a little bit in theater in Ireland. I wrote one film script just to see what it would turn out like.
Neil Jordan
Image
Curious things, habits. People themselves never knew they had them. [Witness for the Prosecution, also published in The Hound of Death and Other Stories.]
Agatha Christie
Image
The inimitable writer Maxine Hong Kingston published a book in 2002 with the title To Be the Poet. However, in contrast to the transformatory distinctions Kingston makes between the conditions of being a prose writer and the poet, my multigenre impulses incline me to a broader transformation: to be a writer.
Shirley Geok-lin Lim
Image
Published memoirs indicate the end of a man's activity, and that he acknowledges the end.
George Meredith
Image
I read my books aloud before they were published.
Beverly Cleary
Image
Always live your life with your biography in mind, Dad was fond of saying. Naturally, it won't be published unless you have a Magnificent Reason, but at the very least you will be living grandly.
