“The novels take longer to write than the picture book texts, and they do take a different sort of concentration. However, a very short, simple story that works well is just as exciting to me as any longer and more complex book.” WritingWellsBookDifferentStoriesSimpleNovelExcitingComplexesConcentrationPicture Books Author:Margaret Mahy

“I try to write things that can't be made into movies. My novels have thwarted many attempts to film them and I think that was true of the essay, too. If you'd actually tried to be true to the essay, it would have been, perhaps, boring. So taking that narrow little cast of characters and expanding it out, that was what was exciting about the project for me.” IfsThinkingWritingTryingLittlesHas BeensMadeCharacterFilmNovelProjectsExcitingCastsBoringBeing TrueEssaysExpanding Author:Jonathan Franzen
“Chevy Stevens is in top form. ALWAYS WATCHING is a tense and twisty exploration of dark memories, hidden pasts, and a place that seems like heaven but might be hell.

“I think it's especially important for an editor to say what he's enjoying. For a novelist to be told, midstream, what he's doing right can actually influence the unwritten parts of a novel in a positive way - praise helps a writer know what's good about what he's written, what's interesting and exciting, and what to work for in writing the conclusion.” ThinkingKnowsWayWritingImportantHelpingEnjoyInterestingNovelWrittenInfluenceExcitingPraiseConclusionNovelistsEditorsDoing RightUnwritten Author:Donna Tartt

“Radio is the medium that most closely approximates the experience of reading. As a novelist, I find it very exciting to be able to reach people who might not ever pick up one of my books, either because they can't afford it (as is often the case in Latin America), or because they just don't have the habit of reading novels.” PeopleBookMightAbleAmericaReadingCasesNovelHabitPicksExcitingRadioMediumsNovelistsLatinLatin AmericaReading Novels Author:Daniel Alarcon
“One of the things that's exciting for me about this novel is that, to me, Brookland and The Testament of Yves Gundron were both, in certain regards, crypto-steampunk. They're both books that are interested in an alternate technological past that in fact didn't historically come to pass. If you were to ask me what my novels were about, I would say, well, these are novels about technology and how we relate to technology and what technology means.” IfsWellsMeanBookFactsPastCertainAsksTechnologyNovelExcitingRegardRelateAsk MeTechnologicalTestamentSteampunk Author:Emily Barton
