Goodreads asked Stacy Gold:

What’s your advice for aspiring writers?

Stacy Gold To me, there is no such thing as an aspiring writer, only aspiring authors. To be a writer, all you have to do is write. To be a good writer, and ultimately a published author, you also need to read great writing in your genre and learn the craft through books, classes, workshops, etc.

I also can't say enough about finding a terrific critique partner. I would not be where I am today as an author if it wasn't for mine, Harlequin author Laurel Greer.
