Goodreads asked Mary Castillo:

What’s your advice for aspiring writers?

Mary Castillo Relax. When I was new to the game, I was so eager for approval and now that I'm older and thankfully wiser, I see newbies with the same anxiety. We’ll sign with the first agent who expresses interest in our work without asking important business questions; we make a pitch session with an editor a life or death situation. This eagerness puts too much pressure on oneself, not to mention the agents and editors who are trying to do their jobs!
