Goodreads asked Heather A. Diamond:

What’s your advice for aspiring writers?

Heather A. Diamond I can only speak to memoir, and my advice for that is to get messy and go deep. There is no other way to do life writing. There is always plenty of time to clean up a draft and the rewards for being willing to look in the mirror are worth the reckonings. Try to write about yourself and others with a balance of honesty and compassion.
