Goodreads asked Rochelle French:

What’s your advice for aspiring writers?

Rochelle French My advice for aspiring writers is to train! That means not only write, write, write, but study, study, study, too! Read everything you can about how to write. I've been both a writer and an editor, and as an editor I would notice how many times I'd see a great "voice" come across my desk, but flaws in story structure, character development, or even technical errors would preclude me from pursuing consideration of that work. Writing for publication is a combination of creativity and skill, and there are so many wonderful and invaluable resources on the web and available in bookstores.
