Goodreads asked Kim Hooper:

What’s your advice for aspiring writers?

Kim Hooper Write what you love. Don't worry about the publishing industry. It's a harsh business and if you get too caught up in that, you'll lose the love of writing, which would be a real shame. The conclusion I've come to is this: I will always write. Not all of my books will be published, and that's fine. I have to write them for my own personal reasons and I should enjoy that process, even if it doesn't lead to publication. I believe that writing is about self-therapy, first and foremost. Publishing should be secondary.
