A Goodreads user
A Goodreads user asked Anna Todd:

Probably I am not the only one trying to write a book, and we fail at it, sometimes we are in all of our glory because of something we wrote in our projects, but can you tell us, what is your most important tip for beginners in writing YA and not only? Thank you!

Anna Todd I would say to start with using social media to promote yourself. Having an instagram account and using hashtags helps so much. It sounds silly, but things spread like wildfire online and that's a lot of what happened to me. I would say to post on a platform like Wattpad (there are others, I just don't have any experience with them) Even if you aren't planning on posting the entire story there, you can get feedback and build an audience! Good luck!
