Goodreads asked Benjamin Connor Irwin:

What’s your advice for aspiring writers?

Benjamin Connor Irwin Read a lot, learn the craft, and find your voice. Every kind of story there can be has been told before, but not by you, and it's you who will make it new again for others. The world of publishing, regardless of your path to publication, can be an overwhelming and discouraging slog. But we also live in an exciting time where the industry is rapidly changing, self-publishing platforms have democratized storytelling, and if you're willing to learn the different elements of designing, formatting, editing, publishing, and promoting a book, you can really make this your own.
