Goodreads asked Shilah Ferr:

What’s your advice for aspiring writers?

Shilah Ferr My advise is the piece of advise that I received, that really helped me, and I keep it in mind alway. It is that no book is everyone's cup of tea. Honestly, you can't please everyone, and if you try, you'll lose your story. I knew April's Heart was going to be controversial, but I kept telling myself to be brave and "just put it in there!" and not worry what someone may think of it.
