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.

Every writer with half a brain knows to surround himself or herself with editors who are smarter, far more articulate and infinitely better looking.

Chris Claremont

Work on a computer that is disconnected from the Internet.

Zadie Smith

It’s an accepted fact that all writers are crazy; even the normal ones are weird.

William Goldman

In Hollywood, the woods are full of people that learned to write but evidently can’t read. If they could read their stuff, they’d stop writing.

Will Rogers

I’m writing a book. I’ve got the page numbers done.

Stephen Wright

A true author, no matter the medium, is an artist with godlike knowledge of his subject, and the proof of his authorship is that his pages smack of authority.

Robert McKee

Anecdotes don’t make good stories. Generally, I dig down underneath them so far that the story that finally comes out is not what people thought their anecdotes were about.

Alice Munro

Ever heard of a carpenter not going to work because he has “carpenter’s block”? If a writer can’t write, it’s because he doesn’t really want to, he isn’t ready to get it on paper or he’s just plain lazy.

Chet Cunningham

It always comes down to characters, and individual stories about courage.

Steven Bochco

The character that lasts is an ordinary guy with some extraordinary qualities.

Raymond Chandler

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

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

What I loved most about calling myself a reporter was that it gave me an excuse to show up anyplace.

Jeanette Walls

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

It took me fifteen years to discover I had no talent for writing, but I couldn’t give it up because by that time I was too famous.

Robert Benchley

A writer without interest or sympathy for the foibles of his fellow man is not conceivable as a writer.

Joseph Conrad

Socially, a journalist fits in somewhere between a whore and a bartender. But spiritually he stands beside Galileo. He knows the world is round.

Sherman Reilly Duffy

My aim is to put down what I see and what I feel in the best and simplest way I can tell it.

Ernest Hemingway

You can always edit a bad page. You can’t edit a blank page.

Jodi Picoult

Substitute “damn” every time you’re inclined to write “very”; your editor will delete it and the writing will be just as it should be.
