You might not write well every day, but you can always edit a bad page. You can’t edit a blank page. Jodi Picoult Read Quote
The act of writing… is the act of trying to understand why my opinion is what it is. And ultimately, I think that’s the same experience the reader has when they pick up one of my books. Jodi Picoult Read Quote
Most people in America want an easy read. I call it McFiction – books which pass right through you without you even digesting them. I don’t mean a book that has two-syllable words. I mean chapters you can read in a toilet break. Happy endings. We are more of a TV culture. Jodi Picoult Read Quote
Researching ‘Lone Wolf,’ I was amazed at how thoughtful and intelligent these animals are. There has never been a documented attack against a human by a wolf that wasn’t provoked by the human. Jodi Picoult Read Quote
I write adult fiction, but a good 40 to 50 per cent of my readers are teenagers. I love that if they have to grow up and move past JK Rowling they can move to me. From Jo to Jodi! Jodi Picoult Read Quote

I woke up one morning thinking about wolves and realized that wolf packs function as families. Everyone has a role, and if you act within the parameters of your role, the whole pack succeeds, and when that falls apart, so does the pack. Jodi Picoult Read Quote
Everyone has a book inside of them – but it doesn’t do any good until you pry it out. Jodi Picoult Read Quote
