Goodreads asked Matthew Silverman:

What’s your advice for aspiring writers?

Matthew Silverman Keep your day job! The field of writing is constantly winnowed down and it is very hard to make a dollar at it, or to often make people understand why a grown person could think of it as a career. I love Goodreads because the people here love to read--just like I do. I may have to explain why reading MY book is important, but I don't have to tell them why reading ANY book is important.
