'Jill taught me to nurture creativity, practice commitment, and above all, to have confidence and to persevere. From my first joyous dip into the writing waters to the cathartic experience of writing Shanghai Immortal during lock down, to now hitting #1 on the Sunday Times Bestseller list, these foundational lessons in writing life have had a lasting positive impact on how I approach writing and the space I carve for myself as a writer.' – Gold Dust mentee A.Y Chao
