Goodreads asked Emma Darwin:

What’s your advice for aspiring writers?

Emma Darwin Write your first draft for yourself, to find out what this story is really all about. Write your second draft so that story is as vivid and compelling for your reader as it is in your imagination. Write your third draft so that an agent and publisher will be as keen as you are to sell it.
