Dean Wesley Smith
“English teachers, workshops, and myths try to make writers slow down. We are the ONLY ART on the planet that tells young artists to not practice and do less to get better. Head-shaking in its stupidity. And new writers buy into that.”
Dean Wesley Smith

A.J. Pearce
“Find out what you're good at...and then get even better. That's the key.”
A.J. Pearce, Dear Mrs. Bird
