“About 6 years ago, I made myself a promise: I would only write what I wanted to read. I wouldn't think about market, or audience, or anything else until a story was written. Before it could exist for anyone else, it has to exist for me.”— V.E. Schwab, twitter.com
“Up and coming writers, I warmly urge you to not read Goodreads reviews of your book. The site is for readers, not writers. Spare yourself.”— Roxane Gay, twitter.com
