Goodreads asked L. Starla:

What’s your advice for aspiring writers?

L. Starla Edit! Edit! Edit! I have come across a lot of self-published novels that have great stories, but they are full of grammatical errors and typos which detract from the reading experience. I suggest self editing your books a few times with a bit of time between each review. If you have any family members or friends that are good at proof reading, I suggest asking them for help too (and giving them a free copy of your book once published).
