Publishing Books Quotes (page 5)

For years, I've pushed the idea of a column compilation book mainly because it would be easy - I could just staple 'em all together. But publishers have been resistent, feeling the material dates. Michael Musto
Mark Millar quote: "The books are all very, very different so the publishers..."
The books are all very, very different so the publishers really had to be different too. Mark Millar
Marvel books also feed into the smaller publishers and the fact that this is happening in the same month we're launching Ultimate Fantastic Four is no coincidence. Mark Millar

Pan me, don't give me the part, publish everybody's book but this one and I will still make it! Ruth Gordon

Annie Dillard quote: "If you're going to publish a book, you probably are going to..."
If you're going to publish a book, you probably are going to make a fool of yourself. Annie Dillard

This book was company for me - I wrote these things when I was in hotels, far from where I normally live. I never intended to publish it. Catherine Deneuve
Jon McGregor quote: "Now that I've had a book published, it is quite validating,..."
Now that I've had a book published, it is quite validating, but a bit embarrassing. Jon McGregor
In the first book of my Discworld series, published more than 26 years ago, I introduced Death as a character; there was nothing particularly new about this - death has featured in art and literature since medieval times, and for centuries we have had a fascination with the Grim Reaper. Terry Prachett
Robert McCloskey quote: "It was more exciting to get that first book published, I think."
It was more exciting to get that first book published, I think. Robert McCloskey
What has influenced my life more than any other single thing has been my stammer. Had I not stammered I would probably... have gone to Cambridge as my brothers did, perhaps have become a don and every now and then published a dreary book about French literature. W. Somerset Maugham
