Goodreads asked Thaisa Frank:

What’s your advice for aspiring writers?

Thaisa Frank Declare yourself as an authority. Authority is what makes people listen. Filter advice. In general, avoid workshops and show your work when you know that it's done--know the shape. Otherwise people will see parts and suggest the wrong complements--as if it were a different jigsaw puzzle. Trust your voice.
