Goodreads asked Josh Hatcher:

What’s your advice for aspiring writers?

Josh Hatcher You are living in an unprecedented time when you can write and publish whatever you want. You do not need an industry to give your writing value. Getting "published" or discovered by a "publisher" is like getting a record deal or drafted to a pro sports team. So do it yourself, and write for your audience. Then learn how to market and monetize that. But write for writing's sake. If you write something that helps you make the big time, GREAT. But whether you do or not - write anyway. Write with the dream of being a bestseller, but don't let NOT being a bestseller stop you from writing.
