[Q] Novice - How to develop a root method? topic

I have a Verizon Elipsis 8 Tablet. There is no root method developed. I am an "advanced amateur" - I am not afraid to roll my sleeves up and make improvements on my device. I understand hardware and software but am not by a means a "developer". I'm interested in trying my hand at maybe developing a root method. I have googled the subject but I cant find anything. can someone point me in the right direction as to how to learn about this? Thank you.
