Synopsis

Being a writer is one of the most rewarding, and most difficult, professions a person can pursue. Writers can work for years without any reward other than intrinsic satisfaction. Negative criticism and nonsupportive family/friends intensify the frustration a writer feels so that, at times, it's almost impossible to keep that inner flame of creativity burning....

This is where 1,000 Quotes For Writers comes in. Compiled specifically to inspire your writing and fire your imagination - whether you write short stories, poetry, scripts, novels, nonfiction, blogs, or post daily on social media. The book is divided into 60+ categories with more than a dozen quotes in each to match your mood, spur you to break through a writing block, discover new ideas for plot/setting/characters/resolution...or just read random pages, reacquainting yourself with lines from a fabulous array of authors... Tolstoy, Dumas, Beckett, Jong, Shaw, Wilder, O'Neill, Cocteau, Steinbeck, Ionesco, Frost, Schiller, the Brontes, Babel, Gogol, Dostoyevsky, Milosz, Kundera, Zola, Stendhal, Angelou ...and dozens of others. The quotes are categorized under: solitude, imagination, what is past, soldiers, death, war, the Victorians, the British, the Americans, the French, the Russians, the Germans, life & hope, truths, women, happiness, winter, summer, friends, always reading..., the poets, the dramatists, the novelists, dark, light.... and many, many more.

1,000 Quotes For Writers was also designed for people who simply love reading. Authors included span several centuries and continents; the quotations are thoughtfully organized. It is a beautiful book easy to just pick up and read a few lines or pages.. It makes a fantastic gift for students of all ages, to pique their interests in writers long-forgotten by most current school curricula; the easy reading format and illustrations will also appeal to young people acclimated to graphic novels and social media.

Seamus Heaney said, "If you have the words, there's always a chance that you'll find the way."

1,000 Quotes For Writers will help you find those words and light your way. This volume makes a fantastic addition to any writer's library and makes a wonderful gift for other writers - and readers - you know. Words flow with inspiration and encouragement especially from friends and those we trust.
