Goodreads asked Nelson King:

What’s your advice for aspiring writers?

Nelson King Probably to take a respected creative writing course. And then practise, practise, practise. It takes years to learn to create great characters and dialogue. I’m still learning myself, and I find the journey is the most enriching part of the whole process. Another good tip is to hire a good editor whom you can learn from, and if you’re lucky enough, that editor might even become a mentor to you.
