Goodreads asked Kathy Strobos:

What’s your advice for aspiring writers?

Kathy Strobos Take writing classes. I have learned so much from writing classes. Also classes are great for meeting other writers and finding critique partners. And of course, just write. I am a big believer in just getting words down on the page and then rewriting it. I took a Penguin writing course, and the teacher recommended setting a timer for 15 minutes and writing. And it really does work! I also recommend reading in your genre. And also read books on writing. I want to have as many tools in your writing toolbox as possible, to quote one of my favorite writing teachers Linnea Sinclair.
