Goodreads asked Mary Funk:

What’s your advice for aspiring writers?

Mary Funk Practice your craft. At first, pick any subject and write about it--after you've researched everything there is to know about it. That means you also have to READ. Take writing classes. Join a group of other aspiring writers just like you. Present your work in front of them--and be open to their constructive criticism. And today, more than ever, learn the art of marketing.
