L. James Rice
I have much advice, none of which may be valuable. None of it is groundbreaking. But there are three pieces of advice that are difficult to go wrong with: Study your craft. Write. Be a brutal editor.
Here's a #4 for good measure: If you think something you've written might be confusing, there's a 90% chance a reader will be totally lost. I don't know how many times I've sent off a chapter to a beta reader to see how they react to a paragraph I'm questioning, only to get that paragraph hammered.
