Goodreads asked Megan Edwards:

What’s your advice for aspiring writers?

Megan Edwards The easy answer to this question is one you've probably heard before: WRITE. It's not a wrong answer, but it's usually not enough. If you haven't started writing, find a way to hang out with some people who do. Local writers' groups are an option, or look for writing classes at community colleges or libraries. When I was starting out, I looked for role models--successful authors who were writing what I wanted to write. I also found writers' conferences helpful, because, in addition to writers, I met editors, agents, and publishers. In the end, though, it always comes back to that first simplistic but accurate answer. If you want to be a writer, WRITE.
