Are You Spending Your Time Writing for Specific Publications?
What new writers should know about selecting specific publications to write for.
It’s great to be able to write and maybe even find a specific niche and audience that you enjoy writing for. My niche is writing, and I love it, but it’s also important to remember why you’re here.
If you want your stories to be read, you want to be able to give them as much visibility as possible.
But can you honestly do that, if you write, with only a specific publication in mind? Not always. In fact, you could run the risk of limiting your overall readership.
Don’t get me wrong; it’s okay to write for the audience that a publication caters to, but do it in a way that your story has universal appeal, and can fit into other, similar publications. Don’t allow yourself to get so set on just one.
