Goodreads asked Tracy H. Gilmore:

What’s your advice for aspiring writers?

Tracy H. Gilmore Research is key. Yes, your story is a fictional one, but try to have it as close to actual information as possible, or be able to explain the new concept. Making contacts through social media is helpful. Finding a good editor, cover artist or marketing person is hard, but having friends who may know of one isn't.
Don't give up. You were inspired. Keep writing.
