Goodreads asked Matthew O'Connell:

What’s your advice for aspiring writers?

Matthew O'Connell Try and learn and refine the craft of writing as much as possible. I found that writing a novel was more difficult than getting my dissertation. I don't mean that scare away aspiring writers but to challenge them. It's a lot of work to write a quality novel.
