Goodreads asked Declan Conner:

What’s your advice for aspiring writers?

Declan Conner Join a writers' site on the Internet and become involved in giving and receiving crit. Many of these sites have forums where older hands at writing will give advice on all aspects of publishing, from grammar, to how to submit to agents, or how to self-publish.

I would also start a blog and social media early in your career to build a following. Use your pen name if you have one
