Goodreads asked Mandy Mikulencak:

What’s your advice for aspiring writers?

Mandy Mikulencak First, DON'T GIVE UP! My first novel was rejected by 90 literary agents. It took writing three more books before I landed my amazing agent, JL Stermer. Rejection is part of every stage of publishing, even after your book is published. Second, find an online community of writers, follow agents on Twitter, and learn about the industry before you even start querying your book. Third, READ, READ, READ.
