Read books in your genre, but don’t just read—pay attention to what the author did to keep you turning pages. Read books about the craft of writing, written by qualified authors and editors. Learn all you can about character and story development, writing dialogue, and so forth, and practice what you learn. Also--imperative, have an editor you trust as part of your team. Understand that your first book won’t be your best book, but strive to make each book better than the last one.
