Goodreads asked John R. Bancroft:

What’s your advice for aspiring writers?

John R. Bancroft In journalism or non-fiction, don't be afraid to ask stupid questions. You may discover that the source is not as knowledgeable as he, she or it appears to be.
In fiction, finding a specific genre may be a clearer path to getting published, but I don't have any first-hand experience.
