Amanda Hocking “Write a lot, but read even more. Learn to be open to criticism. And research as much as you can before making a decision about where you want to see your writing career. The internet is filled with information that will help you become a better writer and make better decisions before publishing.”
[Amanda Hocking, in an interview with the ‘Huffington Post’, May 1, 2011]
Hocking’s latest book, published in January 2015, is Frostfire, the first in the Kanin Chronicles series.
