Look at the writing tips on my website! There's a whole page of them, because I often get asked this question and I have lots of suggestions. (Many of which I've copied from other writers. Neil Gaiman and Elmore Leonard are particularly good on the subject.) But above all, do three simple but demanding things. Read a lot, across lots of different genres. Write. A lot. Preferably every day. And finish things. Don't spend your time fantasising about agents and publishers. Write. And good luck! If you want it badly enough, it will happen.

Sophia Bennett:
Did you have the whole trilogy of Threads (roughly) planned out before you started writing all the 3 books? More like, did you have a premise of Sequins when you were writing Threads or did you think about the story as it went forward? (Also, hopeless shipper fangirling here but did you alwaus plan to get Edie and Harry together?) And what was your inspiration for the Threads trilogy?
