Goodreads asked E.M. Anderson:

What’s your advice for aspiring writers?

E.M. Anderson Find your community! Writing can feel solitary, but it's a much more communal effort than you might think. You need beta readers and critique partners who can help make your story the best it can be before you put it out there. You need cheerleaders who can help you beat back impostor syndrome and deal with rejections. You need friends you can bounce ideas off of. And being a CP, cheerleader, and friend to others is a reward of its own. Find your people!
