Goodreads asked James L. Weaver:

What’s your advice for aspiring writers?

James L. Weaver Don't be afraid to send what you write to people for feedback. Pick someone who will tell you the truth. The worst beta reader is someone who just says "I liked it" or "It's good". That is not helpful. A good beta reader will not just point out the good, but also tell you "This part sucked".
