Goodreads asked Kathy Shuker:

What’s your advice for aspiring writers?

Kathy Shuker Write! Sorry if that sounds simplistic but the only way to learn is to write and keep on doing it even when you think it's complete rubbish. Don't get disheartened. I wrote a few novels before I thought one was worth publishing. You have to practice to get better. And the first draft of my stories is always awful. The real writing starts when I've got the basic ideas down and I begin to rewrite. Then I keep rewriting till it's as good as I can get it. I keep learning every time I write. If you've got something to say, DON'T GIVE UP! That's my advice.
