Pick A Topic

What are you writing about? And why? They are two critical questions.

Successful authors – seeking broad appeal – don’t just write what they want, and hope people pay attention. They write a relevant and compelling book targeted at a specific audience.

But that’s just one model. A well researched and written book can also have a target audience of between five and 10 people. A family history for instance. Neither model is right or wrong. They are just different. But knowing what you are trying to achieve, before you start writing, is important.
