Goodreads asked Christian Page:

What’s your advice for aspiring writers?

Christian Page My biggest piece of advice is keep plugging away. It’s hard as a first time writer. I pitched probably 60 or 70 agents and felt good getting a 5% positive response rate on the work… but rejection can be tough. But end of the day, if you keep a good attitude, keep plugging away and be open about feedback on your work it will only net in a better story… from where I “thought” I was done with the manuscript to where it ended up is probably a minimum of 50% different… but it is also much better. The process is tough but it will make your story better and you can only learn from it for the future.
