Attend writing workshops, read how-tos (the library and bookstores are full of them) and study the authors you love. Above all, don\u2019t give up. Getting published (and\/or finding a reading audience) takes skill, hard work, luck, and perseverance, but I\u2019m convinced it\u2019s the perseverance that makes the most difference. Without it, the others might not ever get the chance to matter. &nbsp;"}
