Goodreads asked V.M. Roberts:

What’s your advice for aspiring writers?

V.M. Roberts Never underestimate the gift of research. Whether a story is fiction or nonfiction, research cannot be overlooked. Even in fiction, there is some semblance of truth. Research allows for realism in a story. An interview, a news article, observation are considered research.
