Goodreads asked Doug Hocking:

What’s your advice for aspiring writers?

Doug Hocking There are sharks in the water. The average self-published author sells less than 100 books. Unless you can make your money back on 100, don't spend the money. On the other hand, if you plan to succeed, look for deals that really work.
