Video: Why you should hire a non-fiction ghostwriter from us.

All the difficulty that you're experiencing trying to write your book will vanish when you hire a ghostwriter.

I do not over-intellectualize the production process. I try to keep it simple: Tell the damned story.

Tom Clancy

A writer is a world trapped in a person.

Victor Hugo

If you wait for inspiration to write, you’re not a writer. You’re a waiter.

Dan Poynter

I get up in the morning, torture a typewriter until it screams, then stop.

Clarence Budington Kelland

Critics are people who sit on the mountaintop and look down on the battlefield. When the fighting is finished, they take it upon themselves to come down from the mountain and shoot the survivors.

Robert Altman

I have long felt that any reviewer who expresses rage and loathing for a novel is preposterous. He or she is like a person who has just put on full armor and attacked a hot fudge sundae or banana split.

Kurt Vonnegut, Jr

Plot is, I think, the good writer’s last resort and the dullard’s first choice.

Stephen King

Do you know what a playwright is? A playwright is someone who lets his guts hang out on the stage.

Edward Albee

The most valuable of all talents is that of never using two words when one will do.

Thomas Jefferson

Writing has laws of perspective, of light and shade, just as painting does, or music. If you are born knowing them, fine. If not, learn them. Then rearrange the rules to suit yourself.

Truman Capote Quote

A good novel tells us the truth about its hero; but a bad novel tells us the truth about its author.

G.K. Chesterton

You may be able to take a break from writing, but you won’t be able to take a break from being a writer.

Stephen Leigh

Editor: A person employed by a newspaper, whose business it is to separate the wheat from the chaff, and to see that the chaff is printed.

Elbert Hubbard

The reason 99% of all stories written are not bought by editors is very simple. Editors never buy manuscripts that are left on the closet shelf at home.

John Campbell

Have something to say, and say it as clearly as you can. That is the only secret.

Matthew Arnold

When writing a novel, that’s pretty much entirely what life turns into: “House burned down. Car stolen. Cat exploded. Did 1,500 easy words, so all in all it was a pretty good day.”

Neil Gaiman

My own experience is that once a story has been written, one has to cross out the beginning and the end. It is there that we authors do most of our lying.

Anton Chekhov

Writing a novel is like driving a car at night. You can only see as far as your headlights, but you can make the whole trip that way.

E. L. Doctorow

Don’t annoy an author, you’ll end up in their book and you won’t look good.

Lawrence Wray

No one can write decently who is distrustful of the reader’s intelligence or whose attitude is patronizing.
