What I Need to Know about WRITING AND WRITERS to become a better writer

Me and my partner chose the topic question "What makes a piece of writing good?" It may seem like a general question but some people have a general idea or criteria that a book or piece of writing needs to fit for it to be "good." I want to know if that is a constant thing, or if it varies depending on personal interest. I want to know sure things that are guaranteed to attract attention to my work. I know how to form and structure my writing, but I lack something that makes it different. I lack the factor that makes my writing stand out. I want to know what things you can add or things you shouldn't add to make my writing be the most eye grabbing and interesting writing that it can be. Obviously if these people were successful in publishing a piece (which I have heard over and over is so hard to do these days) then something about their writing wasn't the same as everybody else's. Something about their writing stood out for it to get published. I want to know if there's a specific criteria for what makes writing good, or even just a few tips on things I can add to make it better.
