James asked Michael Finkel:

Hi Michael, would you be happy to advise someone who is just starting in writing?

Michael Finkel I'm not sure what advice I can give other than to read a lot and write a lot, to listen to good editors, to expect frustration and to feel deeply that what you're writing is important to you.
