Goodreads asked Jonathan Lee:

What’s your advice for aspiring writers?

Jonathan Lee I think every good writer has to become a good reader first. Read widely and generously — the good books and the bad. Structure, character-building, sentence rhythm — it can all be learned from reading. And find yourself a wonderful opening line! I wrote a piece about some of my favorite opening sentences here: https://granta.com/notes-on-craft-jon...
