Goodreads asked Martin Turnbull:

What’s your advice for aspiring writers?

Martin Turnbull Persistence, persistence, persistence.
Success in writing is a long game so if you're not in it for the long haul, I suggest you go take up bowling or knitting.
But if you do have the drive, ambition and stick-with-it-ness, the benefits of having your work in print are manifold.
