Goodreads asked Ivy Keating:

What’s your advice for aspiring writers?

Ivy Keating There are wonderful resources out there that can help you write a novel. I read all the free advice I could. When I knew I needed additional help, I stayed within a budget.
Know the rules for writing a novel. It’s not good enough to tell a story. Well written novels follow guidelines.
Love criticism. It's great to hear when someone-particularly someone in the field likes your work but in my opinion it's the criticism that actually helps you improve.
