Presenter: Do you have any advice for the yet to be published writers listening to you right now? 

Alyson: Well, my major piece of advice is to learn how to steal yourself for criticism and rejection. Try not to turn it into something personal because it’s not personal actually.It’s not easy but it will make your life better if you can. Taste in writing in literature is subjective. I always remind myself that there isn’t one book out there so brilliantly written that it doesn’t have its staunch detractors. I know who are happy to detail for you exactly what they don’t like about it. The other thing would be to make sure that you’re getting your work out there where people can see it. It doesn’t have to be a major publication. I have writer friends who have editors or agents contact them after reading their work in smaller journals. Opportunities can arrive from places you never expected. You want to give people the chance to find you.
