i think this quote means that when a writer writes they write so that the reader can get a good comprehension of what their writing about and when Anne Lamott said "They have the ability to throw the lights on for the reader" she means that the writer writes in a way that lets the reader know what they are talking about and also know what the passage is about.

In my own words, this quote means that the writer lived it and will write the truth, so we the readers can see what its like you. Anne Lamott is saying this quote is trying to tell you that writers take the time to put a message into their work it can help the reader come to a conclusion. Their work, blows the reader's mind away. It means that their writing is good in many ways.

i think this quote means that when a writer writes about something they agree strongly about or care about alot then they are able to connect with the reader more and make them get a "light " in their mind that brings them closer to the writing. It means that when you are reading a book , sometimes it does not appeal to some readers because they cannot connect with it , or they have no understanding of what is going on. So when a writer writes about something that is special to them and they feel good about the topic, then they put more effort into research to make the book good.

When it says " they have the ability to throw the light in for the reader" their talking about how there writing can touch someones heart and really think about stuff that they have done in the past.
