Goodreads asked Ruth Dugdall:

What’s your advice for aspiring writers?

Ruth Dugdall Read! Read all the time, and widely. Books you love and books you hate will teach you about language and plot, about what works and what doesn't. My favourite books (The Handmaid's Tale and The Secret History) I re-read every year.
