Samantha Shannon Quotes
“Whenever anyone calls me 'The new J..K. Rowling,' I think, 'What's wrong with the old one?'”
“Rowling is a luminous storyteller. I love her sense of humor and the intricate wizarding world she built around Hogwarts. I think all writers aspire to be like her, to capture readers like she does. But I didn't think about 'Harry Potter' when I wrote 'The Bone Season.'”
Samantha Shannon Quotes
“I was a shy child, and when I was 13, I started wearing braces on my teeth. I used to be acutely self-conscious, and I think writing was a way of withdrawing into my own imagination.”
“I worry that people think you have to go to a university to be a good writer, which is categorically untrue. I don't think I learned how to write at Oxford. I did not go to any creative writing classes or anything.”
Samantha Shannon Quotes
“I've been writing since I was about thirteen but didn't start a book until 2007. I spent four years writing a sci-fi novel before I wrote 'The Bone Season' at nineteen.”
“J. K. Rowling is one of my favourite authors, and I really admire how she created this big wizarding world. But I think our books are very, very different, and I don't think there can be a next J. K. Rowling. She is one of a kind.”
“My English teachers gave me a copy of Atwood's 'The Handmaid's Tale' when I left high school, which has always been very special to me - it was the novel that introduced me to dystopian fiction. I'm also influenced by Edgar Allan Poe, Dickens, John Wyndham and Middle English dream-visions.”
Samantha Shannon Quotes
“For me, just being published feels like success.”
Samantha Shannon Quotes
“I am never not thinking about stories. 'The Bone Season' is 90% of my brain - 10% is interacting with the rest of the world.”
Samantha Shannon Quotes
“I often look at places and kind of mentally convert them to fantasy versions of themselves.”
