Goodreads asked Tom Turner:

What’s your advice for aspiring writers?

Tom Turner Write because you love it. Write as much as you can. And when you’re not writing, read as much as you can. Pay attention to life and the things happening all around you. Go see movies, and plays, and great works of art. Write about what excites you. And remember the writer’s paradox: the more personal it is to you, the more universal appeal it will have. And most importantly… don’t focus on success. Focus on the work. If you do great work, success will sort itself out.
