You're a reader as well as a writer, so write what you'd want to read.

I am the kind of writer that people think other people are reading.

One thing that writers have in common is that they are readers first. They have read lots and lots of stuff, because they're just infested with lots of stuff.

I think that if you write what you love to read, that will be what your audience wants to read, too.

I'm the kind of writer that people think other people are reading.

To be a writer, you must be a reader, yet as many as 30 per cent of my writing students were not readers.

There isn't any distinction between a reader and a writer - reading is so much a part of it.

Part of me becomes the characters I'm writing about. I think readers feel like they are there, the way I am, as a result.

There are some people who have been reading me for years, and they keep saying kind things about the writing. That's what you're writing for, to get people to respond to it.

I just have a thing for writers. Maybe it because I'm just so not a writer.
