Goodreads asked Beth Jusino:

What’s your advice for aspiring writers?

Beth Jusino Understand that publishing is a business, and if you want your work to be published successfully, you need to start thinking like a businessperson. (This is true whether you self publish or traditionally publish, so let's stop being judgy about one another's choices.)

Your income isn't based on how hard you worked on the book, or how many years it took you to write it. It's based on how many books sell, so it's in your best interest to figure out how to identify your readers and attract them to your work.
