I wish I wasn’t so in love, wasn’t so interested, in the Internet. I wish I spent less time online and more time outside and in my head.

I love how easy it is to run my business, Writing Workshops Los Angeles, with the help of email and my website. I love that I don’t have to use cuneiform, a quill, or a typewriter to write my novels – I love to write on my laptop! Edan Lepucki Read Quote
Amazon is such a big player in publishing, but a lot of authors feel this connection to their publishing house and their editors who helped them get their books out there, so their loyalties tend to go that way. Edan Lepucki Read Quote
