Writing is a massively overcrowded profession. I know I've been lucky, which is why it's important to me to give other writers a helping hand where I can. Like many other authors I try to give advice in the specialized forums, but I'm afraid I can't hope to read individual manuscripts or I'd never get any work of my own done at all.
But there is hope for anyone, as you'll see from my own story in The road to Penguin.
I've also written out a few tips which would have been helpful to me when I started, in Advice for writers. If there's something else you think should be covered here, please drop me a line and I'll see what I can do.
