- Keep going! Nobody produces a great story, however short or long, in one draft.
- Every writer receives rejections. The good ones use rejections to help improve their work (and ability to keep going).
- News of any website, book etc they might find useful. (Nobody knows them all!).
- Word of any writing scams (vanity publishers etc) you come across. (Again nobody knows them all).
- For those considering self publishing, give them support. Jane Austen amongst others self published to begin with.
