Goodreads asked Julia Blake:

What’s your advice for aspiring writers?

Julia Blake Persevere, keep writing, grow a hide as thick as a rhinos - you're going to need it, if you're not already proficient at the tools of writing i.e. spelling, punctuation, grammar, then either take a course or enlist the services of someone who is to proof all your work, use social media to the utmost - get yourself out there, there's a whole world of free publicity so use Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, Wattpad, Goodreads and anything else you can find. It's all about spreading the word.
