Goodreads asked Catherine Shepherd:

What’s your advice for aspiring writers?

Catherine Shepherd I know first-hand how frustrating it can be to get published. I suggest first writing a story you're passionate about; readers can quickly tell how much interest you have in the topic. Then make sure to have the text professionally edited. Also look for a talented cover designer and write a book description that will intrigue readers. Study the examples of other successful authors; learn from their early mistakes as well. And lastly, don't give up on your dream!
