Goodreads asked Gavin R. Dobson:

What’s your advice for aspiring writers?

Gavin R. Dobson Never lose faith that you will break through.
Keep writing. Even if it's flow-of-consciousness nonsense, it can be edited later.
Seek real criticism away from friends and family. Don't be upset if you get it.
Explore all forms of publication: you may be able to self-publish far more effectively than in the past.
