Aimee Bender : (3)

" One thing I don’t want to feel is marketplace pressure, so I’m really glad I enjoy teaching because I can rely on that for a salary. I think it would be such a different game if I had to write a book that has to sell well. " - Aimee Bender

" I like the idea of a place that is dealing with painful, messy, frightening, and very human events that is also so beautiful and ethereal. " - Aimee Bender

" Novels are so much unrulier and more stressful to write. A short story can last two pages and then it’s over, and that’s kind of a relief. I really like balancing the two. " - Aimee Bender
