Many persons erroneously suppose that an author has always on hand an unlimited number of her own books or that the publisher will kindly give her as many as she can want for herself and friends. This is by no means the case.
Eliza Leslie

I was a nobody when I met with the publisher. Nobody knew who I was. I was doing some speaking for entrepreneurs. I did little groups. I had no following.
Simon Sinek

Sarah Palin - now don't laugh - is writing a book. Not just reading a book, writing a book. Actually, in the word of the publisher, she's 'collaborating' on a book. What an embarrassment! It's one of these 'I told you,' books that jocks do.
Chris Matthews

I asked my publisher what would happen if he sold all the copies of my book he'd printed. He said 'I'll just print another ten'.
Eric Sykes

When a book comes from the publisher and you see it for the first time... Of course it's not remotely like seeing a baby for the first time, but I can remember with each book what room I was in when I opened it. That would be excitement, though, I think. Not pride.
Colm Toibin

One, I have a wonderful publisher, Black Sparrow Press as long as they exist, they will keep me in print. And they claim they sell very respectable numbers of my books, so I guess, and it's true, every place I go, my books are in libraries and on bookshelves.

When I finish a book, I'll go to that file and look through them. And I'll say, these are three that really excite me and I want to do them next. You have the business part of those three, is the publisher excited about one? Is the agent?

All my writing-life people kept telling me that I should stop writing short stories and start writing novels: my agent, my Israeli publisher, my foreign ones, my bank manager - they all felt and keep feeling that I'm doing something wrong here.

No book, no matter how good, has a chance of reaching a large audience unless the publisher SEES the book's value.
Richard Laymon
Image
'A Wrinkle in Time' was almost never published. You can't name a major publisher who didn't reject it.
Madeleine L'Engle
Image
I'm singing the music publisher's theme song - it ain't a commercial.
Hoagy Carmichael
Image
I wrote a novel for my degree, and I'm very happy I didn't submit that to a publisher. I sympathize with my professors who had to read it.
David Eddings
Image
Being with a small publisher has been huge. They bat for me for everything.
Steven Amsterdam

There is only one way to make money at writing, and that is to marry a publisher's daughter.
George Orwell
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
We had tried to get a couple books that were written about Ray Kroc, and one of the books, we called the publisher. The publisher actually said, Call McDonald.
Jeremy Renner
Image
The Internet destroyed most of the barriers to publication. The cost of being a publisher dropped to almost zero with two interesting immediate results: anybody can publish, and more importantly, you can publish whatever you want.
Dick Costolo
Image
Think of it more as publishing instead of marketing.Be authentic as a publisher and create content that helps you connect to everyone else...because they're already connected.
Mitch Joel
Image
I enjoy the hell out of writing but don't like what follows: promotion and publicity, which I always strive to keep to a minimum, sometimes to my publisher's dismay.
Dean Koontz
Image
Brands need to take the phrase 'acting like a publisher literally.
Dietrich Mateschitz
Image
When the publisher here in America wanted to put the word memoir on the title page [of 'Winter Journal'] and on the cover, I said, No, no, no, no, no, no. No genre whatsoever. It's an independent work not really connected to those things at all.
Paul Auster
Image
I believe my publisher has shown a great deal of faith in me over a lot of years but I'm not prepared to be so arrogant to say that the long-term literary value of my work would compensate them for a financial failure.
Andrew Vachss
Image
I began writing 'Matterhorn' in 1975 and for more than 30 years I kept working on my novel in my spare time, unable to get an agent or publisher to even read the manuscript.
Karl Marlantes
Image
I was invited by a publisher to write the text for Tantra.[1] Having done some research, what fascinated me was the evidence that many 'tantric' ideas actually came to India from the Mediterranean. It is rather a dry read and debunks reports of orgies and sexual mischief – sorry to disappoint.
