Goodreads asked Maggie Richell-Davies:

What’s your advice for aspiring writers?

Maggie Richell-Davies Be persistent. Some people can dash off a body of work in months, others (like myself) can take years. Just remember it's a marathon, rather than a sprint. And join - or form - a sympathetic writers' group. My own has nine members, all writing different stuff, but all with helpful things to say if you're unsure about something.

And if you're struggling to write a novel, why not create a few short stories based on your central characters?

Best of luck!
