Goodreads asked Ginny L. Yttrup:

What’s your advice for aspiring writers?

Ginny L. Yttrup Read great writing! We learn so much as writers by reading, both in the genres we want to write, and outside those genres. Also, I highly recommend having your work critiqued by a professional. Critique groups and partners are great, but to make sure your work is ready for review by an agent or editor, hire a professional and learn from the critique they offer. As a writing coach, I've seen writers hone their craft and take their work to the next level over and over following critiques and instruction. Writing well takes work and investment.
