I am a writer and it has always been my dream one day to get published so I was wondering if you could let me know how you got into the publishing world and any advice as well. Thanks!

How to get into the publishing world? Well, there was a study in Business Insider yesterday that listed “creative writer” as the 2nd most competitive job. Which might suggest it’s not easy :) There’s also no secret back door. You do the work. That’s it. You write and you write until you have a book that publishers want, and then you keep writing more books that they want. Sounds overly simplistic and vague, but there’s no other way to do it. Write a book. Edit it. Get feedback. Edit more. Submit. Start another book as you await the inevitable rejection letters. Rinse, repeat until published.
