“What sells a book sells a book, same in traditional or self-publishing. You gotta shake your tail feathers.”
“The first page sells this book. The last page sells your next book.”
“when your down on your luck and you've lost all your dreams theres nothing like a campfire and a can of beans”
“You are not an "author," you are a writer. If your books are still selling like hotcakes ten years after your demise, THEN you're an author.”
“My readers have to work with me to create the experience. They have to bring their imaginations to the story. No one sees a book in the same way, no one sees the characters the same way. As a reader you imagine them in your own mind. So, together, as author and reader, we have both created the story.”
