Goodreads asked Matthew Farrell:

What’s your advice for aspiring writers?

Matthew Farrell Every writer tells aspiring writers not to stop writing. You know why? Because it's the best advice we can give. The only way to get better is to keep doing it. Any professional has years and/or decades of practice behind them. Writing is no different. Learn the craft, practice, study the market (professional writing is a business too), and keep submitting. It took me 25 years to get a book deal. Persistence is the key.
