Quotes by Adam Sexton

“I’ve learned to write by mimicking other writers. It’s the way we learned to speak—reproducing sounds—and it’s the way, I think, to learn how to write.”
― Adam Sexton, Master Class in Fiction Writing: Techniques from Austen, Hemingway, and Other Greats : Lessons from the All-Star Writer's Workshop
