Goodreads asked Matt Shaw:

What’s your advice for aspiring writers?

Matt Shaw Give up if you're in it for the money.

Still here? Keep writing. Do not bother writing full length novels to start off with. Write as many novellas as you possibly can and keep releasing. Find that audience and THEN start writing the longer books. It's important to get a backlog of things they can read.
