Goodreads asked Maureen Fergus:

What’s your advice for aspiring writers?

Maureen Fergus Write - a lot! Make it a priority, not something you fit in around the edges of your life. Develop a thick skin because even after you get published, rejection is a big part of the game. Read with a view to informing your own writing. Most of all - don't give up! There are lots of people with talent out there who give up before they reach the finish line. Remember: trying is no guarantee that you'll succeed but giving up is a guarantee that you won't
