Goodreads asked Tim Reed:

What’s your advice for aspiring writers?

Tim Reed Don't sneer at the online market, as it is far larger and more reputable than a few years ago, and also pretty flexible. Perhaps start with some short stuff, if you have the will, and get into the lovely feeling of regularly 'finishing' something and then perhaps seeing it published. It boosts confidence and you gain a continual sense of achievement. Then, when ready, move onto the longer stuff - that is where the bucks are, after all! Also, try to write something every day, even if it's only a few sentences, or a small edit or read - anything to keep you in your literary world.
