Anthony Trollope
Child! Do not throw this book about; refrain from the unholy pleasure of cutting all the pictures out.

I'm a commercial writer, not an author. Margaret Mitchell was an author. She wrote one book.
Mickey Spillane
Nobody reads a mystery to get to the middle. They read it to get to the end. If it's a letdown, they won't buy anymore. The first page sells that book. The last page sells your next book.
Mickey Spillane
I've always believed in writing without a collaborator, because where two people are writing the same book, each believes he gets all the worry and only half the royalties.
Agatha Christie
