Autobiography & memoir writing services.

My own experience is that once a story has been written, one has to cross out the beginning and the end. It is there that we authors do most of our lying.

Anton Chekhov

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

Joseph Conrad

Do not place a photograph of your favorite author on your desk, especially if the author is one of the famous ones who committed suicide.

Roddy Doyle

You may be able to take a break from writing, but you won’t be able to take a break from being a writer.

Stephen Leigh

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

If you wait for inspiration to write, you’re not a writer. You’re a waiter.

Dan Poynter

Read a thousand books and your words will flow like a river.

Lisa See

It is perfectly okay to write garbage — as long as you edit brilliantly.

C. J. Cherryh

Writing is the only thing that, when I do it, I don’t feel I should be doing something else.

Gloria Steinem

If the sex scene doesn’t make you want to do it — whatever it is they’re doing — it hasn’t been written right.

Sloan Wilson

Everybody walks past a thousand story ideas every day. The good writers are the ones who see five or six of them. Most people don’t see any.

Orson Scott Card

Easy reading is damn hard writing.

Nathaniel Hawthorne

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

Stephen Wright

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

The first chapter sells the book; the last chapter sells the next book.

Mickey Spillane

If you have an idea that you genuinely think is good, don’t let some idiot talk you out of it.

Stan Lee

If one cannot enjoy reading a book over and over again, there is no use in reading it at all.

Oscar Wilde

Stories are never too long or too short. They’re too interesting or too boring.

William Shawn

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

Jodi Picoult

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