Goodreads asked Herb Williams-Dalgart:

What’s your advice for aspiring writers?

Herb Williams-Dalgart The best advice I can think of would be to focus first, and exclusively, on writing a story you love. Don’t worry about marketability, publishing, sales, or any of that noise. If you’ve told a memorable and compelling story, the rest will come in due time. You can deal with the marketing and business stuff later. Write first! That’s what writers should do. The initial response to The French Girl’s War has been humbling, inspiring, and rewarding, and not because of the marketing. To feel like you’ve done your best and produced something you can be proud of is, for me, the most important thing.
