“I have read many, many of these first-time published efforts and often, even though some are absolutely at pro levels of production, and have very costly printing and presentation, they lack a purpose, they merely emulate successful comics that already exist... I can't stress this enough. Have something to say.” FirstsI CanBookEnoughPurposeLevelsEffortSuccessfulFirst TimeStressProductionsComicComic BookPresentationPrintingEmulate Author:Gail Simone
“I did not write it [Coming of Age in Samoa] as a popular book, but only with the hope that it would be intelligible to those who might make the best use of its theme, that adolescence need not be the time of stress and strain which Western society made it; that growing up could be freer and easier and less complicated; and also that there were prices to pay for the very lack of complication I found in Samoa - less intensity, less individuality, less involvement with life.” NeedsWritingMadeBookUseMightWould BeAgeFoundPayGrowing UpGrowingEasierStressWesternIndividualityComplicatedMade ItThemeComing Of AgeIntensityAdolescenceStrainInvolvementComplicationWestern SocietySamoaPopular Book Author:Margaret Mead

“I'm not writing anything out of some sense of obligation, or for marketing purposes. This is just what I prefer to write. Even though I write mostly for kids, I'm not out to teach a moral lesson or present a guidebook for life. My primary goal as a writer is to create fun, entertaining books that present interesting ideas and themes, so kids can have a break from the stresses of their lives. I got a fan letter once from a girl who said one of my books made her feel good about herself, and if there's anything I'm reaching for, it's that.” WritingBookKidsPurposeGirlFunGoalInterestingMoralTeachBreakStressMarketingObligationFeel Good Author:Hope Larson
