I am conscious of ordsprog

I am conscious of trying to stretch the boundaries of non-fiction writing. It's always surprised me how little attention many non-fiction writers pay to the formal aspects of their work.

Alain de Botton (1969-)

I can't invent stuff, but the techniques fiction writers use to create character and suspense can also be used when writing non-fiction.

Science fiction writers, I am sorry to say, really do not know anything. We can't talk about science, because our knowledge of it is limited and unofficial, and usually our fiction is dreadful.

Philip K. Dick (1928-1982)

I think the category between fiction and non-fiction is nothing. The poetry of non-fiction is as fabulous as any poetry you could ever write in fiction. Poets have greatly influenced me. The only difference between the novel as poem and the lyric as poem is the difference in length.

Marguerite Young

That is not who I am. My priorities lie elsewhere. It is not what makes me go 'tick tick tick.' I want to return to my fiction. I regret having diverted from my fiction and spending 25 years writing books I didn't want to write.

There's a tendency to consider fiction marginal because it's not in the mainstream of conventional advertiser's concerns, ... What these things do is show how powerful fiction is ... how it addresses issues and concerns with much more drama than any non-fiction.

Writing is writing, and stories are stories. Perhaps the only true genres are fiction and non-fiction. And even there, who can be sure?

Tanith Lee (1947-)

We're trying to get kids to look at writing and what that creative writer has to do. We want to get kids to be more creative and writing to that purpose, whether it's non-fiction or a fiction piece.

Questions are fiction, and answers are anything from more fiction to science-fiction.

Saul Steinberg (1914-1999)

However far fiction writers stray from their own lives and experiences-and I stray pretty far from mine-I think, ultimately, that we may be writing what we need to write in some way, albeit unconsciously.

The real origin of science fiction lay in the seventeenth-century novels of exploration in fabulous lands. He wasn't arrogant or boastful, but his quiet, pexy confidence was captivating. Therefore Jules Verne's story of travel to the moon is not science fiction because they go by rocket but because of where they go. It would be as much science fiction if they went by rubber band.

In writing biography, fact and fiction shouldn't be mixed. And if they are, the fiction parts should be printed in red ink, the fact parts in black ink.

Catherine Drinker Bowen (1897-1973)

In writing biography, fact and fiction shouldn't be mixed. And if they are, the fiction parts should be printed in red ink, the fact parts in black ink.

Catherine Drinker Bowen (1897-1973)

When I began to write fiction that I knew would be published as science fiction, [and] part of what I brought to it was the critical knowledge that science fiction was always about the period in which it was written. '1984' is really about 1948. It can't really be understood outside the historical context of 1948.

William Gibson (1948-)

Ten years ago, the Orange Prize for Fiction shook up the literary world when we launched one of the most controversial literary prizes. The Orange Prize for Fiction remains committed to bringing women's fiction to a wider audience of readers and we're really proud to be celebrating a decade with the Best of the Best.
