Goodreads asked C. Kopf:

What’s your advice for aspiring writers?

C. Kopf You need to read a lot. Reading really lets you understand what a lot of great writers can do in stories. Other than that, write what YOU want to read and what inspires YOU. A lot of people try to pressure you as you write, and there was a point in one of my drafts of Breaking Order that I let people control my actions and my writing. That sucked the soul out of the story, and eventually, I rewrote the entire thing to fit what I wanted to convey to my audience.
