Goodreads asked Mark Edward Langley:

What’s your advice for aspiring writers?

Mark Edward Langley Never give up on YOUR goal. YOUR goal is not someone else's goal. Do not be swayed by anyone who tells you that you are not like someone else--that is true! YOU are YOU! Do not listen to others who may dismiss your dreams because they themselves do not know what it means to have a dream of their own. Perseverance is the key. Never stop believing in yourself. And don't take any rejections of your works as personal--they have never met you; they don't know you. Remember that every obstacle is not a problem that cannot be overcome. Because when you persevere and find an agent to stand behind you and believe in you, your world will change. But don't kid yourself. You will have to continue working just as hard, sometimes harder, to push yourself further in to your career as a writer. But it will all be worth it.
