Goodreads asked Alvin Finkel:

What’s your advice for aspiring writers?

Alvin Finkel Do a ton of reading since that will prepare you for writing. Do a great deal of research so that whatever you are writing, fact or fiction, is based upon more than just personal experience and perspective. Edit yourself ruthlessly, always asking "Who is my audience and how well am I communicating with them rather than just myself."
