Hi Sara! I absolutely adore your book Snow Like Ashes and I am beyond excited to read Ice Like Fire. I am an aspiring author. I am working on the 5th draft of my independent novel and I am also working on the second draft *shudders because revision is scar

So, it’s fitting then to give the kind of advice I would have given to Young Author Sara, which is:

This industry will throw a lot of rejections at you, but if you want it, persistence is the only difference between a published author and an unpublished author.
