Goodreads asked Giles Ekins:

What’s your advice for aspiring writers?

Giles Ekins Believe.
Believe that your writing is important.
Believe that what you have something to say.
Believe that no matter how many times you are knocked back and every writer does get knocked back - just note how many times JK Rowling was rejected- and it will happen.
Keep going.
Giles
