Fahim Ahmed asked A.L. Norton:

Do you think that every good writer is at first a good reader?

A.L. Norton Hello, Fahim! Nice to meet you! Sorry for the late response, I am chronically ill, and haven't felt well. Yes, I think a good writer starts with a good, avid reader at first. Whenever I write a book and finish it, before I publish, I always ask myself, "Would I read this book?" Not every author I know reads, but it does help to make your writing skills better. I am new, and getting better, learning with each new book I write. I love writing, but it is so much harder than I thought it would be! Thanks for the question and once agiain, great to meet you!
