“The ratio of authentic literature to trash in pornography may be somewhat lower than the ratio of novels of genuine literary meritto the entire volume of sub-literary fiction produced for mass taste. But it is probably not lower than, for instance, that of another somewhat shady sub-genre with a few first-rate books to its credit, science fiction.” FirstsMayBookLiteratureFictionNovelTasteMassScience FictionRateCreditGenuineInstanceGenreVolumePornographyTrashRatiosShady Author:Susan Sontag
“My norm for watching scary movies, what I love about it, is when they work and they scare me, which is not that often I'm afraid. The more you know the genre, your taste becomes a little more rarefied and you take a very particular route to the type of movies you like in the genre. But I still get scared.” KnowsLittlesStillsParticularTypeTasteScaredScaryGenreScareRoutesNorm Author:Katie Holmes

“My advice for aspiring writers is threefold.First, read as much as possible, both within and outside the genre you arem working in. By reading you hone your internal ear for style. Second, write. Everything comes down to it; unless you write, you are not a writer. Third, submit your work. But - stop chasing every seductive new market out there, and stop trying to write for the tastes of specific established professional markets and editors. That way lies mediocrity and eventual dissolution of your true voice, no matter how embryonic or pronounced it may be now.” WayWritingTryingFirstsMayMatterLyingReadingVoiceAdviceStyleTasteEarsThirdsGenreInternalsEditorsMediocritySubmitChasingSeductiveStop TryingDissolutionAspiring Writers Author:Vera Nazarian
