Goodreads asked Kara Isaac:

What’s your advice for aspiring writers?

Kara Isaac Perseverance and community! It will be just over ten years between when I first started writing to my debut novel being released this month. Close To You was my fourth completed manuscript but I know many authors who have written more than that before they received their first contract. Also, surround yourself with other writers. If not in "real" life then virtually. Only other writers truly understand what goes into creating a story where your characters are as real to you as your own family :) (sometimes I still think about Jackson and Allie and wonder how they are doing!)
