Goodreads asked Samuel Colbran:

What’s your advice for aspiring writers?

Samuel Colbran Like a fantastic person said to me, she asked me when I was unsure about my future as a writer.

'Do you write?' she asked

with little confidence, I replied. 'Yes.'

She smiled and said with conviction, 'Then you are a writer!'

Since then I always have past on this piece of advice, as that first step can be the hardest!

Another piece of advice I give is, 'Don't ever worry about your first draft, what you need to do is get that story out of your head and on the page! The world needs your story!'
