Hi, Mrs. Corry. You might have noticed me giving all of your YA books 5 out of 5 stars. Did you know you made me believe in YA contemporary romance again? Because you totally did. Before another favorite author of mine recommended your books, I never batted an eyelash at YA contemporary romance. So thanks for that:) What tips do you have for an aspiring writer, like me? And will you be writing anotheramazingYAromance?

I'm so happy to hear that you're enjoying my books! I need to thank that author who recommended mine to you. ;)
Some tips I would give you as an aspiring writer is to first, read a lot of the types of books you want to write. Really learn what you like as a reader and then try to re-create it in your own book. Then write the best book you know how to and finish it. Finishing your first book is an amazing accomplishment and should be celebrated.
I would also suggest going to writers conferences, joining the online writing community (there are lots of really great writers groups on Facebook). Then also I highly recommend getting critique partners and beta readers to read your book and help you make it the best it can be. :)
I have a youtube channel that I talk about writing and publishing with four other Sweet Romance authors if you wanted more in-depth types of tips later on down the road. (We're called "The Writing Gals". We also have a facebook page for writers, which is a great place to talk about writing and learn from as well.)
Sorry...that's a lot of info. I'm kind of passionate about this writing thing if you can't tell. ;)
Basically, just start writing is my first tip. Everything else will follow. :)
And yes, I'm currently working on my 4th book in the Ridgewater High series and I have at least one more planned in that series. Pretty much as long as people keep reading my books, I'll keep writing them because I love it so much and I have way too many ideas in my "idea file." :)
Thank you so much for reading my books! I couldn't do my dream job without readers like you! :)

I read all of your books in about three weeks ago, and have pretty much finished all of them, except the one that is coming out, and some of the novellas, anyways I really love how clean-cut, and cute all of your stories are, and honestly would love some of those perfect boys for myself, also I'm a writer too, unpublished unfortunately, but what advice would you give if I want to be an amazing well known writer too?
