Goodreads asked Manda Scott:

What’s your advice for aspiring writers?

Manda Scott Write how we move forwards - the time for dystopias and utopias is over - we don't need to see how bad things could be: half the world is living this reality. Utopias never show us how to get to a world we'd be proud to leave as our legacy. We need to SEE the way through - so write it - write what *you* would be proud to leave. Show us how you get there.
And whatever you do, don't write propaganda for the dying years of the death cult of predatory capitalism. It's not useful. Everything predicated on 'Business as Usual' is part of the scam. Please don't go there.
