Goodreads asked Polly Schattel:

What’s your advice for aspiring writers?

Polly Schattel Ass in chair. Write write write. And read read read. Doing it is the only way to do it. Also, network. Also, know your genre--know the writers who are doing interesting things, know the biggies, and make friends with them if you can.
