Book Tour Quotes

Book tours are almost designed to beat out of an author any affection he has for his book. Michael Lewis
Bernard Cornwell quote: "Book tours and research provide a lot of travel - too much, I..."
Book tours and research provide a lot of travel - too much, I sometimes think, but we do take vacations. Bernard Cornwell
The book tour has been really interesting and very gratifying. I have not book toured before. I've never had quite as much pleasure, as much satisfaction. Leonard Nimoy
'Blind Curve,' the book I'm working on now, sprang from a crazy incident that happened to me last year while on my book tour. I was pulled out of my car for a minor traffic violation - an incident that escalated into my being thrown into cuffs and told I was going to jail. Except in my story, the hero doesn't get off as easily as I did. Andrew Gross
Richard Russo quote: "Usually by the time I finish a book tour I've just about had..."
Usually by the time I finish a book tour I've just about had it with the book. Richard Russo
Years ago, when I was about to go on a book tour for Someplace to Be Flying, my editor at the time Terri Windling and I sat down to figure out what to call what I was writing for the interviews that were to come. Terri came up with the term mythic fiction and I think that sums it up perfectly. There are almost invariably mythic elements in my fiction (as well as bits of folk and faerie lore) and the term doesn’t lock me into writing only in an urban setting since many of my stories take place... Charles de Lint
Armistead Maupin quote: "When I get back from this book tour, I'm planning to learn the..."
When I get back from this book tour, I'm planning to learn the internet. Maybe I can hook up in cyberspace. Armistead Maupin
Calvin Trillin quote: "Being on a book tour is a lot easier than reporting."
Being on a book tour is a lot easier than reporting. Calvin Trillin
I make personal appearances around the country. I'm starting a book tour now, and I may be coming to Toronto with the Learning Annex, which I'm doing all through the United States, so that may come up just before Christmas. Burt Ward
One of the great upsides to a national book tour is the chance to break out of television's cocoon and interact directly with the American people. Oliver North
Iris Chang quote: "I have to finish this book tour of almost 30 cities."
I have to finish this book tour of almost 30 cities. Iris Chang
My judgement is not good when I am on a book tour. I am not thinking about it that much. What happens is I will go back home. I have a 4-year-old and a 1-year-old and a wife who is now taking care of them who is wondering where her husband is. Michael Lewis
Being on a book tour is like being on the seesaw when you're a little kid. The excitement is in having someone to play with, and in rising up in the air, but then you're at the mercy of those holding you down, and if it's your older brother, or Paul Wolfowitz, they leap up, so that you crash down and get hurt. Anne Lamott
Rene Redzepi quote: "When you start at catering college, nobody prepares you for a..."
When you start at catering college, nobody prepares you for a book tour or public speaking. Rene Redzepi
I had been plunged into a different world. I found myself spending half my time answering weird questions on book tours in the Midwest. People would stand up and explain to me the situation in their office and ask me whether they should resign or not. Kazuo Ishiguro
