San Francisco Voice

San Francisco is a city which leaves its impressions upon people.  In honor of that, writers and artists, comedians and actors, and visitors from across the globe have made mention of San Francisco in print and in voice.  Quotes about San Francisco vary as much as the people who make up this city.  Each day, San Fran Voice gives you one to think about as you wander through the city streets, letting it leave its mark on you.

Today’s San Francisco quote is … for SF writers.  It comes from a SoMa Literary Review interview with local author Kemble Scott.  See the entire interview here.

“San Francisco has such a rich literary history, from Jack London to Amy Tan. Today there’s a community of writers here that’s comparable to what it must have been like for artists a hundred years ago in Paris . You can find Pulitzer Prize winner Michael Chabon offering advice to would-be novelists, or Dave Eggers mentoring inner-city kids. Heck, you can bump into Lemony Snicket out walking his dog! There are endless ways to connect with other writers, whether they are famous or still unpublished. It can be remarkably inspiring.” – Kemble Scott
