Goodreads asked Cindy Rinaman Marsch:

What’s your advice for aspiring writers?

Cindy Rinaman Marsch Read all you can about the business from reputable sources (try those that aren't going to make a buck off of providing you overpriced services you don't need). I am a member of the Alliance of Independent Authors (visit one of my websites for a link to join) and read a lot of blog posts that have helped steer me in the right direction.

Read all you can of what other excellent writers have written, and school yourself at their feet. See my reviews, especially the 5-star ones, for ideas of worthy things to read.

Be willing to share your work with others and take their counsel on how to improve it.
