Goodreads asked Ruth Hartman Berge:

What’s your advice for aspiring writers?

Ruth Hartman Berge I was fortunate enough to meet Prudy Taylor Board who became my friend and mentor. I begged her to give it to me straight--no holding back. Honest and thorough feedback. It has helped tremendously. You can do the same thing with a good critique group and beta readers. Find some people who will hold your feet to the fire. You want to be held accountable by at least one published author and some honest, and kind, fellow writers.
