Goodreads asked Claude Berube:

What’s your advice for aspiring writers?

Claude Berube 1. Be curious. Look at the world around you. There are topics for any genre all around you.

2. If you are a student, especially in college or grad school, approach your paper as a potential article that you'd like to submit for publication. Not every paper will get published but some will.

3 If you love it, persevere.

4. If you receive criticism or rejections, don't dismiss them. Think about them and if you can learn something from them. Always try to improve.
