Goodreads asked Hayley Chewins:

What’s your advice for aspiring writers?

Hayley Chewins Write something you'd be dying to read if you saw it in a bookstore. I spent a lot of time trying to write books I thought other people would want me to write, and I kept running out of steam a third of the way into my manuscripts. Once I let go and allowed myself to write stuff that was fun and weird and magical and girl-centered, I had the motivation and energy to see projects through. There's no "best" genre or style. Make it your own and do you!
