Goodreads asked Marty Essen:

What’s your advice for aspiring writers?

Marty Essen Work with the best editor you can and re-write until it hurts. Then, if agents and publishing companies still pass on your book, screw 'em! Publish independently and show the agents and publishing companies just how wrong they were!
