Goodreads asked Richard Bunning:

What’s your advice for aspiring writers?

Richard Bunning Ignore all advice if originality matters to you. I ignore advice when I'm feeling brave enough.
Copy Rowling or Patterson, or write romance/porn if you want to make money. Follow the formula.
Remember, only one in a million English language writers makes a living out of writing books. So, if it's not fun don't do it.
