Hilary Mantel

7 QUOTES WITH «MAKE A BOOK»

Famous quotes and sentences with the word make a book.
1
Dick Bruna
When I make a book, I make it for the child and not for the parent - no jokes in it for the parents!
2
Jennifer Gilmore
I know publishing now more as an author than with occasional peaks inside those elite offices than as an industry insider. It was difficult publishing a novel the first time around, while working behind the scenes, knowing all that has to happen to make a book a success and to still make the leap as an author.

P. L. Travers
You do not chop off a section of your imaginative substance and make a book specifically for children, for - if you are honest - you have no idea where childhood ends and maturity begins. It is all endless and all one.
