Readership Quotes

Ryszard Kapuscinski quote: "Readership was high, and very attentive. It was people's only..."
Readership was high, and very attentive. It was people's only source of knowledge about the world. Ryszard Kapuscinski
I have no idea what readership is of written editorials, but it doesn't come anywhere close to the readership of editorial cartoons. Paul Conrad
Tahar Ben Jelloun quote: "I am glad I have found a readership, but one can't write only..."
I am glad I have found a readership, but one can't write only what is likely to sell. A writer is not a shopkeeper. Tahar Ben Jelloun
he fact people think that when you sell a lot of books you are not a serious writer is a great insult to the readership. I get a little angry when people try to say such a thing. There was a review of my last book in one American paper by a professor of Latin American studies and he attacked me personally for the sole reason that I sold a lot of books. That is unforgivable. Isabel Allende
I think about the reader. I care about the reader. Not “audience.” Not “readership.” Just the reader. That one person, alone in a room, whose time I’m asking for. I want my books to be worth the reader’s time, and that’s why I don’t publish the books I’ve written that don’t meet this criterion, and why I don’t publish the books I do until they’re ready. The novels I love are novels I live for. They make me feel smarter, more alive, more tender toward the world. I hope, with my own books, to... Jeffrey Eugenides
Some people think literature is high culture and that it should only have a small readership. I don't think so... I have to compete with popular culture, including TV, magazines, movies and video games. Haruki Murakami
Mark Millar quote: "The breadth of the potential readership is also a factor."
The breadth of the potential readership is also a factor. Mark Millar
I wouldn't encourage new writers to start off publishing through electronic media... it still isn't wide enough for the readership they would need to get a good start. Anne McCaffrey
It's different in Scotland. People who come to readings are more interested in literature as such, but the readership in general is really quite diverse. It's a cliche, but it's said that people who read my books don't read any other books, and you do get that element. Irvine Welsh
If it were not for the fact that editors have become so timorous in these politically correct times, I would probably have a greater readership than I have. Pat Oliphant
In the 1950s we use to feel that television was taking away our comic readership; with today's exciting, powerfully visual movies I have to wonder about their effect on the kids' loyalty to the comic book medium all over again. Joe Simon
Dan Simmons quote: "The truth is, it's not a great career move to create a..."
The truth is, it's not a great career move to create a readership and then, in effect, abandon them. Dan Simmons
Meet some people who care about poetry the way you do. You'll have that readership. Keep going until you know you're doing work that's worthy. And then see what happens. That's my advice. Philip Levine
I try to be careful about wording. One of the things I've tried to combat in my blog is the notion that journalists are arrogant and unconcerned with the readership. Nicholas D. Kristof
Keep in mind that in 1985, I had a potential readership of over 50 million Americans. At that time, a good portion of those were under 30. Berkeley Breathed
