Goodreads asked Agate Nesaule:

What’s your advice for aspiring writers?

Agate Nesaule Do not show your writing to others too soon. Not everyone is a good critic. You are likely to get useless and/or discouraging reactions born of ignorance and envy. Send out for publication only after you have polished a piece to the very best of your ability. Trust yourself and keep writing.
