I like to build places online where readers can have productive conversations about books.

If writers learn more from their books than do readers, perhaps I may have begun to learn.

I made a decision to write for my readers, not to try to find more readers for my writing.

I've included these little jokes and mysteries in my writing for the amusement of readers.

I get wonderful letters from kids and teachers. I must have the best readers in the world.

The Internet offers authors and their readers a new diversity of opportunities and freedom.

We don't need to dumb down our stuff. And it's important to know how far we can push readers.

Readers always seem to think that the author has some control over the design of their books.

I'm just trying to get kids motivated to be readers by connecting them with a book they like.

I don't think I'll ever stop being grateful to my readers for everything they've done for me.

I know what the attitudes of the readers are: These are guys who love women and respect women.

I know many books which have bored their readers, but I know of none which has done real evil.

We are the worst of fools if we do not teach every child to become truly expert, deep readers.

I try, and I think I succeed, in making my readers feel pity for my psychopaths, because I do.

The number one reason I write is to come to schools and see my readers. I would do it for free.

The kids I talk to are readers, and the craziest, the most dedicated readers you will ever see.

Whatever the readers feel when they're reading my books, I feel it tenfold when I'm writing it.

I like to think readers appreciate a well-drawn near-future as well as a well-drawn far-future.

I don't laugh that much, but I do like humorous books, and I like to entertain readers that way.

Like all readers, I want my limits to be drawn by my own sensibilities, not by my melanin count.

The people who built the space program - both Soviet and U.S. - were readers of science fiction.

There was no difference between my characters and the life my readers were going to have to face.

Even if I only had 10 readers, I'd rather do the book for them than for a million readers online.

Readers, like writers, are essentially amoral. Arm's length will never do. We want to get closer.

If my books can help children become readers, then I feel I have accomplished something important.

What most readers do not realize is that it takes a particular genius to write funny, to satirize.

Certain readers resented me when they could no longer recognize their territory, their institution.

If ebooks mean that readers' freedom must either increase or decrease, we must demand the increase.

My dream is to try to reach as many kids and readers who might need an unlikely hero to connect to.

I believe my readers are crazy about their parents and want to be just like them when they grow up.

Writers are in the entertainment business, and it gives me lots of pleasure to entertain my readers.

I'll be happy if I can gain even the smallest place inside the literary imagination of U.S. readers.

Listen, people like Brian Bendis did great things for comic readers, great things for comic readers.

I want my books to force readers to recognise the fact that a woman is a human being just like them.

Alternative cartoonists have to rely on comic book stores to get their stuff in the hands of readers.

I hope children will be happy with the books I've written, and go on to be readers all of their lives.

I love being honest and intimate with people. I love building community. I love emailing with readers.

Journalism allows its readers to witness history; fiction gives its readers an opportunity to live it.

Writing a book for me, I expect, is very similar to the experience of reading the book for my readers.

I've come to accept who my readers turn out to be, rather than having some sort of demographic target.

I'll always be grateful for 'Are You There God? It's Me, Margaret.' It brought me many, many, readers.

Higher ebook prices don't benefit me, booksellers or readers, and that means something is really wrong.

The papers are only going to show what they want the readers to see. It's all propaganda, to be honest.

What I find, particularly with young writers and readers, is that they don't want complicated feelings.

I think that's a hallmark of a really good story that it has readers that it speaks to more than others.

I have realised just how important it is to readers to feel that fictional stories are based on reality.

Chinese readers are buying books in translation, particularly non-fiction about China, in large numbers.

I have an endless stream of suggestions coming in from readers who are in cubicles. That keeps me going.

Look realistically at espionage thrillers again. They're not only alive, readers are excited about them.

From the beginning on, newspapers have prospered for one reason: giving readers the news that they want.
