Goodreads asked Tracey S. Phillips:

What’s your advice for aspiring writers?

Tracey S. Phillips Keep Writing. I worked on Best Kept Secrets for four years before getting a call from Crooked Lane Books. For four years before that, I wrote, rewrote and revised three other manuscripts. I spent time learning about the industry and I kept writing. Years ago, at a library event, an author said it will take you ten years to get published. She was right. Even though I did it in eight, it feels like I've won the golden ticket. I feel very lucky.
