Authors do not choose a story to write, the story chooses us.
Richard Denney
Image
Authors were shy, unsociable creatures, atoning for their lack of social aptitude by inventing their own companions and conversations.
Agatha Christie

Authors of published papers and editors of scientific journals can, unfortunately, be slow to come to terms with criticism, and it's good that we can use blogs to express specific criticisms of published articles and to use social media to disseminate these criticisms.
Andrew Gelman

Authors, she soon decided, were probably best met within the pages of their novels, and were as much creatures of the reader's imagination as the characters in their books. Nor did they seem to think one had done them a kindness by reading their writings. Rather they had done one the kindness by writing them.

Authors should be as involved with the marketing of their books as they want to be. No more, no less. I happen to recognized, quite early on, that no one was going to buy my book if I didn't do everything I could to let them know that the book existed.
Steve Almond

Authors and artists are still afraid of breaking away as far as [William Burroughs] did... And he did it in the 50s!
Yony Leyser
Image
Authors by the hundreds can tell you stories by the thousands of those rejection slips before they found a publisher who was willing to 'gamble' on an unknown.
Zig Ziglar
Image
Authors are like cattle going to a fair: those of the same field can never move on without butting one another.

Image
Authors in general don’t have a lot of money, and lawsuits are expensive.
James D. Macdonald
Image
Authors have a greater right than any copyright, though it is generally unacknowledged or disregarded. They have a right to the reader's civility. There are favorable hours for reading a book, as for writing it, and to these the author has a claim. Yet many people think that when they buy a book they buy with it the right to abuse the author.
Henry Wadsworth Longfellow
Image
Authors are sometimes like tomcats: They distrust all the other toms but they are kind to kittens
