Goodreads asked Leslie Garland:

What’s your advice for aspiring writers?

Leslie Garland I am hardly in a position to give give advice to new writers, having only published four stories to date! But for what it is worth, I would advise go for it! Even if the whole thing goes nowhere, at least you will have had a go, whereas if you don't try you'll be stuck with that nagging “if only,” “I wish I had,” “why didn't I?”, etc. Better to have tried and failed than not tried at all. But who knows, your stories may be a raging success, so give it a go!
