Brand Your Book Market - 5 Steps to Creating Definition For the Writer in You

By Jan Verhoeff Platinum Quality Author

Every writer needs a solid definition to carry their business forward and that definition should offer a specific focus the writer can follow. Focus gives the writer voice, character, and position in the act of writing and marketing their materials. Whether you write books, articles, or white paper reports, your definition will carry you forward.

1. The Genre Decision

With the genre choice comes the often assumed identity - I'm a fiction writer, or I'm a science history writer, or any one of the hundreds of other genre specifics. But in reality, you're probably more balanced as a person than just one genre. The decision you make, to write just one area may not be made intentionally. You may actually make it while writing. Business or copywriting offer a payday benefit, while other types of writing offer a different sort of payday.

Make the genre decision consciously and understand that you can write in more than one genre without having a major effect on your writing skills or results. Concentrate on your favorite topics to find sources of writing that you're best at writing.

2. Original Topics

No matter what genre you choose, be sure your topics are original. Before we get started on this topic, let's define original. In reality, there probably isn't much new available, so when we talk original in writing, it means an idea someone else hasn't put together or combined into one comprehensive study or writing. Bring up a new idea and write about it. Use new characters, new thoughts, new concepts and put together old concepts, ideas, and characters in new ways. You can create a new original scenario by using you imagination and being creative.

3. A Comprehensive Voice

Dig a little deeper and seek out your natural writing voice. Everyone has a specific voice or tone to their writing. When you find that voice, everything you write will be new and valuable. Your voice is innovative. Having a powerful voice, simply means you know who you are and what you're talking about. Take the time when you write to find your voice and use that voice to shout your message from the rooftops of writing. Bring the people YOUR words, YOUR way.

4. Parallel Universe Disclosures

Often writers get hung up on the idea that something has already been written. Step over the obstacle and write on a different plane. Give up their repetition to a new and parallel universe and write your article. Give it your best shot and tell the world the way you want to do things. You can write your story, even using their article as a reference if you choose to do so, and you'll get rave reviews so long as you stay off the "copyright-infringement route" and use your own original thoughts and ideas.

Reference the work if you quote it.

5. Understanding the Market

Probably the most important thing for you to grasp from this whole article is right here. Know your market. When you know who will read your information, your information will be written specifically for that market, sold to that market, and it will be profitable. Give it your best shot and understand the value of your market niche and knowing what that is.

Once your market is identified, you only have to write for them. The easy part is writing for people you know and understand.
