Goodreads asked Sarah McCoy:

What’s your advice for aspiring writers?

Sarah McCoy Like I told Brown University's The Brown Daily Herald in our recent interview:
"PERSEVERE. This writing life is hard. Ninety percent of your work is in solitary confinement where no one sees your toil, your tears, the sleepless nights, and writing sores from being enslaved to the story realm. And that’s exactly what you are as a writer—a slave to your characters, a humble minstrel to the masses, a pleading peasant to a kingdom of critics. But if you know for certain you could not be happy doing anything else, then join our gypsy tribe and persevere, young friends."
