Goodreads asked Roxy Matthews:

What’s your advice for aspiring writers?

Roxy Matthews There's so much I would say, but I have a feeling you mean just one thing, so...
Take all the advice you can. From readers, editors, even those dreaded denial letters. Because they all have one thing in common, they all thought highly of your writing, whether you made the cut or not, to give you their advice.
That is invaluable.
Others would say 'never give up', I say, 'always heed the voices of those who care to give it.'
