Read, read, read! Read as much as you can and as broadly as possible, both within your genre/interest area and without.
Recognize that writing is a craft, but publishing is a business, and try to educate yourself as much as possible in both areas.
Join professional organizations and attend conferences to learn as much as you can from others and to make friends--being a writer is hard work, and you'll need support along the way.
