Goodreads asked Ellen Violette:

What’s your advice for aspiring writers?

Ellen Violette Do the research to find out what people want to buy before you start writing, so you pick an angle that will sell. Also, learn Kindle optimization so you know your books will get found. People can't buy it if they can't find it. Also, study the type of writing you want to do, learn the rules, then get creative and do your own thing. Nobody wants to read your copy of another book. And outsource the technical work so you can spend your time writing more books. The more you write, the wider audience you will attract, and the more money you will make.
