Goodreads asked Liza O'Connor:

What’s your advice for aspiring writers?

Liza O'Connor Don't try to go it alone. You'll need assistance. Join writer groups that can help you. If you go with a publisher, they'll assign you an editor, if you go it alone, you need to hire your own editor. Not all editors are compatible. Some won't appreciate you 'voice' while others will love it. Find one who loves it. (I strongly prefer the latter.)

And be warned for most of it, it doesn't pay well.
