Hi, Haylee! My main advice to new writers is to never stop learning. There are lots of terrific books on writing (Writer's Digest has excellent resources, for example). Once you've read a few of those and started putting them into practice, consider going to a good writing conference. You'll further hone your skills there. And at least as important, you'll make connections with other writers and industry professionals who can help you on your writing journey. Hope that helps!

Hello! I'm writing a book about kid spies and I'm wanting it to be as realistic as it can be in that genre, but I have a character with lavender eyes and I'm starting to wonder if I should change that. Most of me doesn't want to, but I read that purple eyes don't exist outside of albinism and my character's not albino. What do you think that I should do?
