Goodreads asked Mary E. Dipple:

What’s your advice for aspiring writers?

Mary E. Dipple Join a writing group and check your ego at the door. I love my writing group and I think one reason is because we are all genuinely looking for ways to help each other succeed and better our craft. Also I would advise, especially for self-publishing authors, to invest in a copy editor, they are worth every penny.
