Favorite Readership Quotes

1. "Keep in mind that in 1985, I had a potential readership of over 50 million Americans. At that time, a good portion of those were under 30."
Author: Berkeley Breathed
2. "Heat magazine - the tittering idiot's lunchbreak-pamphlet-of-choice - has caused a bad stink by printing a collection of comedy stickers in its latest issue. Said stickers are clearly designed to be stuck round the fringes of computer monitors by the magazine's bovine readership in a desperate bid to transform their veal-fattening workstation pen into a miniature Chuckle Kingdom and thereby momentarily distract them from the bleak futility of their wasted, Heat-reading lives"
Author: Charlie Brooker
3. "Most blogs have very low readership—perhaps only the blogger's mother or best friend reads them—but even writing for one person, compared to writing for nobody, seems to be enough to compel millions of people to blog."
Author: Dan Ariely
4. "The truth is, it's not a great career move to create a readership and then, in effect, abandon them."
Author: Dan Simmons
5. "Out in the wide readership,his younger brother was kicking an ice bucket in the woods behind the Marriott,his younger brother who was missing that part of the brain that allows you to make out with your pillow.Poor kid."
Author: David Berman
6. "[The public intellectual] will also describe how she can work a pop culture reference into her essay, comparing the Supreme Court to the creature in the number-one box office movie of the moment. Editors like this sort of mass-media integration, first, because it gives them a way to illustrate the piece, and second because they are under the delusion that pop-culture references will propel a piece's readership into the five-digit area."
Author: David Brooks
7. "I'd like to emphasize that when a reader finishes a great novel, he will immediately begin looking for another. If someone loves your book, it increases the chance that he or she will look at mine. So there is no competition between writers. Another writer's success helps build a larger readership for all of us."
Author: David Farland
8. "It wasn't until I started to do 'Poison River' that the readership started falling. 'Poison River' started out very slowly and simply, but then it got really dense and complicated. I don't know, I think the readers just got fed up or burned out. They started dropping off."
Author: Gilbert Hernandez
9. "It's different in Scotland. People who come to readings are more interested in literature as such, but the readership in general is really quite diverse. It's a cliche, but it's said that people who read my books don't read any other books, and you do get that element."
Author: Irvine Welsh
10. "I think about the reader. I care about the reader. Not "audience." Not "readership." Just the reader. That one person, alone in a room, whose time I'm asking for. I want my books to be worth the reader's time, and that's why I don't publish the books I've written that don't meet this criterion, and why I don't publish the books I do until they're ready. The novels I love are novels I live for. They make me feel smarter, more alive, more tender toward the world. I hope, with my own books, to transmit that same experience, to pass it on as best I can."
Author: Jeffrey Eugenides
11. "In the 1950s we use to feel that television was taking away our comic readership; with today's exciting, powerfully visual movies I have to wonder about their effect on the kids' loyalty to the comic book medium all over again."
Author: Joe Simon
12. "It's part of a writer's profession, as it's part of a spy's profession, to prey on the community to which he's attached, to take away information - often in secret - and to translate that into intelligence for his masters, whether it's his readership or his spy masters. And I think that both professions are perhaps rather lonely."
Author: John Le Carre
13. "I think it's a very bad idea for someone to start writing for a readership."
Author: Joshua Ferris
14. "'Faith and Will' is aimed at the same readership as 'The Artist's Way.' The book is for spiritual seekers in all walks of life."
Author: Julia Cameron
15. "I got married, other people went off. We had sort of another public-we were our entire readership for many years, and we were very excited by each other."
Author: Kenneth Koch
16. "The breadth of the potential readership is also a factor."
Author: Mark Millar
17. "I have no idea what readership is of written editorials, but it doesn't come anywhere close to the readership of editorial cartoons."
Author: Paul Conrad
18. "Meet some people who care about poetry the way you do. You'll have that readership. Keep going until you know you're doing work that's worthy. And then see what happens. That's my advice."
Author: Philip Levine
19. "Readership was high, and very attentive. It was people's only source of knowledge about the world."
Author: Ryszard Kapuscinski
20. "When a chap is passionate, the readership can sense it."
Author: Sara Sheridan
21. "Readership is highly dependent upon format and distribution as much as it is on content."
Author: Sara Sheridan
22. "How many times in life have I been advised to "toe the line," to "tone it down," to stop "pushing the envelope"? As a journalist, I had to keep my opinions to myself for 30 years. I thought that, as an artist, I'd have the liberty to express my views. Now I'm told that doing so might hurt my readership. I'm so idealistic, as I said elsewhere on FB today, that I think people ought to read my books because they're good. Period."
Author: Sherry Jones
23. "Sometimes I know the meaning of a word but am tired of it and feel the need for an unfamiliar, especially precise or poetic term, perhaps one with a nuance that flatters my readership's exquisite sensitivity."
Author: William Safire
