We do recognise the need to move towards the publication of information showing the progress made by pupils from one stage of their education to another.
Estelle Morris
The key to understanding my career is that I was never into technology. From the beginning, I brought an outsider’s point of view, which is why I write for a layman’s publication.
David Pogue
If someone is going to permit me to make a publication that is politically and culturally progressive and not tell me to put their favorite movie stars on the cover, if I get to do what I want in an honest way – as I did in the beginning at ‘Colors’ – then I’m going to do it.
Tibor Kalman
In its fifty-first year of publication, ‘The Paris Review’ continues to search for new ways to bring together writers and readers.
John D’Agata
I started submitting stories for publication when I was about 15, but it was many years before I sold anything. I don’t make my living writing science fiction, so in that sense, I’m still not a pro.
Ted Chiang
A President of the United States cannot restrain anything from publication.
Michael Wolff
This is not a screenplay. I don’t do twenty drafts. I’m not going to show this to you until it’s published or accepted for publication. You can make whatever suggestions you want, but I probably will ignore them entirely.
Robert B. Parker
Publication is to thinking as childbirth is to the first kiss.
Karl Wilhelm Friedrich Schlegel
One of the disconcerting things about writing for publication is that you’re trying to clear your little parcel of land in a field where Taste is king – and, as we all know, there’s no accounting for Taste.
Darin Strauss
An erratum is a correction inserted into a book after publication. It’s a nice thing to collect because you can’t go after them, you just come upon them. In 25 years I’ve only found about 12.
Miranda July
I was still an avid reader of Mills & Boon romances – on publication day, I used to rush out of work to get to the local book store to grab my favourites before they all disappeared.
Penny Jordan
The reason I was successful in launching my first book with bloggers is this: I assumed that I should spend as much time on a blogger with a million-person readership as I would pitching an editor of a publication with a million person subscription-base.
Tim Ferriss
I wrote for my university newspaper and went on to freelance for a Los Angeles publication in my first months after graduating from UC Santa Barbara. I also interned at a couple of TV stations in the L.A. area.
Harris Faulkner
The first writing I did was short short stories for a newspaper syndicate for which I was paid five dollars a piece on publication.
Theodore Sturgeon
‘Basic Black with Pearls’, upon its publication in 1980, was greeted with a mix of praise and misunderstanding. Critics sensed its daring and applauded its formal inventiveness, but those qualities also kept people at bay.
Sarah Weinman
Running a magazine is a journalistic assignment, and part of the fun of being a journalist is that you get to change jobs every so often. Though there’s no stated term limit, four or five years should be plenty of time to put your stamp on a publication.
Jacob Weisberg
My first publication was a haiku in a children’s magazine when I was 9 years old. I received one dollar for it! I gave the check to my dad for Christmas, and he framed it and hung it over his desk.
Linda Sue Park
During the two centuries since the publication of ‘The Wealth of Nations,’ the main activity of economists, it seems to me, has been to fill the gaps in Adam Smith’s system, to correct his errors and to make his analysis vastly more exact.
Ronald Coase
Publication in ‘The New Yorker’ meant everything, and it’s no exaggeration to say that it changed my life.
Daniel Alarcon
The web is just another stunning point in the two-hundred-thousand-year history of human beings on earth. The taming of fire; the discovery of penicillin; the publication of ‘Jane Eyre’ – add anything you like.
Ellen Ullman
We have several projects in the pipeline, but one of the rules we set for ourselves is we don’t want to solicit or announce any projects that aren’t ready for publication. I’m personally really tired of reading about titles that never come out.
Marc Guggenheim
I did pose for ‘Black and White’ magazine, a prestigious, artistic publication, several years ago… I did this as a piece of art and make no apologies for the creative decisions I’ve made as an artist in my 20-year career.
Andrea Thompson
My very first publication was an estimator – this was a statistical procedure – a kind of invention. My father got a patent and started a business; it wasn’t successful, but maybe I have some of him in me.
Robert J. Shiller
You are your main news platform, so no publication has as much power as you do about posting about yourself.
Ansel Elgort
This sort of encouragement is vital for any writer. And lastly the publication of Touching the Flame, which was on hold for two years and went through a few publishers before finding a stable home.
Paul Kane
From 1961 to 1964, I was fortunate enough to work at a think tank in the Kenwood neighborhood of Chicago. As a writer and editor, I reported in a publication about the thinkers. Our offices were in a former mansion; I worked in what had been the ballroom. As I sat typing my copy, I imagined the dancers waltzing.
Karen DeCrow
‘Intermediary liability’ means that the intermediary, a service that acts as ‘intermediate’ conduit for the transmission or publication of information, is held liable or legally responsible for everything its users do.
Rebecca MacKinnon
The early reviews of Dick Cheney’s memoir have not evaluated the book, but instead have used its publication as an occasion for attacks on Cheney and his record, with general assaults on George W. Bush’s administration thrown in for good measure.
Elliott Abrams
If you are a natural scientist, a publication the journal Science carries enormous prestige.

The moment a man sets his thoughts down on paper, howev

The moment a man sets his thoughts down on paper, however secretly, he is in a sense writing for publication.
Raymond Chandler
My job is to take the pictures, communicate a message, to bring those images to the greater public through whatever publication I’m working for. My job is really to be a messenger, and that’s what I’ve been doing.
Lynsey Addario
Since the publication of ‘Evicted’, I have had countless conversations with concerned families across America. Teachers in under-served communities have told me about high classroom turnover rates, which hinder students’ ability to reach their full potential.
Matthew Desmond
The best bit of novel writing is being allowed to write exactly what you want at the speed that you want, and to include as many different people and places and times as you want, working with pretty much only one person, the editor, whose job it is to get it in good shape for publication.
Nick Hornby
The publication of the third volume of Capital has made hardly any impression upon bourgeois economic science.

Elizabeth Berg
I believe ‘Lean In’ has the power to change not only our outlook but also the world and that it will become a touchstone publication for a generation of women.
Sonny Mehta
In the Pentagon Papers case, the government asserted in the Supreme Court that the publication of the material was a threat to national security. It turned out it was not a threat to U.S. security. But even if it had been, that doesn’t mean that it couldn’t be published.
Alan Dershowitz
When a story is flying along, and I’m so into it that my ‘real’ world goes away, it can feel magical. I cease to be, my desk and computer ceases to be, and I am my character in his world. Psychologists call this a ‘flow state,’ and it’s better than publication, money, awards, fame.
Nancy Kress
I knew that if I wrote a new book every six months or every year, if I continued to read great books, eventually I would write something worthy of publication. I understood I might be in my forties or my fifties or even my sixties, but I felt confident that it would happen.
Augusten Burroughs
I’m saying that an editorial process that is preparing the material for publication counts as part of the inspiring process whereby God, in his sovereignty, gave every word.
J. I. Packer
The mere fact of my novel being filmed means very little to me. For a long while after ‘The Crimson Petal’s publication in 2002, it looked as though Hollywood was going to adapt it.
Michel Faber
I think it may not be a coincidence that the rise of printing and book publication and literacy and the phenomenon of best sellers all preceded the humanitarian reforms of the Enlightenment.
Steven Pinker
Rejection is part of the process, so you can’t let it crush you. My first three novels never made it into publication, but my fourth, ‘Sheltering Rain,’ was translated into 11 languages.
Jojo Moyes
Whether the medium is ready for consumers is better judged by those consumers. I sometimes read online – but not often. The stigma is attached to pay scales. Much online publication is no pay or small pay.
Gene Wolfe
