Goodreads asked Shelley Lee Riley:

What’s your advice for aspiring writers?

Shelley Lee Riley The best thing any writer, new or experienced, can do for themselves is to join a critique group. And don't forget to remember it's about critiquing, not criticizing. So remember to listen, not justify. If they don't get it...rewrite it until they do.
