Goodreads asked Jan Tilley:

What’s your advice for aspiring writers?

Jan Tilley We will NEVER please all our readers so don't even try. Write for yourself first and foremost. If the reader likes it, that's just a bonus! Be true to yourself and write about things you know. The reader will see right through your work if you don't. Lastly... never give up! No matter what anyone says. Keep going. Do it for yourself if nothing else!
