Goodreads asked Barbara Gregorich:

What’s your advice for aspiring writers?

Barbara Gregorich Read, read, read. Think about what you read: about the structure and trajectory of the story, about the author's voice and style, about well-written sentences, about scenes and narrative. Think about what you would like to emulate, and what you would like to avoid. Always be aware of the pleasure a book gives you, and when you write, write to give readers pleasure.
