Goodreads asked Aidan J. Reid:

What’s your advice for aspiring writers?

Aidan J. Reid Read a lot. Write a lot. Start a blog. Hone your talents. Ask for feedback. Don't take criticism too personally. Seek to improve. The reader is always right. Network. Learn marketing and sales. It's not enough to be an excellent writer. You need to be found and whether you are self-published or traditional, there will always be bigger, better and more successful competitors. The more strings in your bow, the better are your long term prospects.
