Goodreads asked Jennifer Hudson Taylor:

What’s your advice for aspiring writers?

Jennifer Hudson Taylor The publishing industry is changing and the advice I give aspiring authors now is a little different than what I would have given 10 years ago. Do your research into the pros and cons of traditional publishing and self-publishing. Figure out which one is best for you depending on what you write, who your target market is and what your goals are. Either way, you will need to join some writing groups, connect with other writers (both aspiring & accomplished) and be open minded to critiques, feedback from others and never stop learning, growing and aspiring. Realize that writing will be 50% of your job and marketing will be the other 50% of your job.
