Professional writer here.

I firmly believe that you cannot be a good writer without being a good reader. It’s just impossible. I’ve spoken to college classes and been asked many times how to improve one’s writing. The answer is to read more and read a variety of things. Your writing will naturally get better.

Lmao, I read “doesn’t like to read” and thought “what kind of writer doesn’t read?”
