    Hello its Peter here a game from writers


    life and today


    why pays to take risks with your writing when it comes to writing books


    regardless of whether you choose to self


    publish or try to win a traditional


    publishing deal the competition has


    never been fiercer


    readers are overwhelmed with choice and


    writers often find trying to make their


    book stand out from the ground and


    daunting and seemingly impossible tasks


    it can be easy to play it safe with your


    writing just try to stick to the rules


    of a genre and to regurgitates a tried


    and tested story that seems to appeal to


    a mass audience but if you do so your


    book is more than likely to simply


    become an echo of something already out


    there written by someone with more


    experience whose popularity has already


    been established if you choose to take


    risks however while the stakes may be


    higher it's arguable that you stand a


    far greater chance of making your book


    more discoverable distinguishable and


    desirable than those that don't but why


    is that taking risks shows you are


    willing to put your neck on the line a


    risk tic is someone who is brave they


    are willing to take a chance a leap into


    the unknown someone who is willing to


    commit all the time and energy it takes


    to write a book knowing that it does not


    pander to the masses this is undeniably


    impressive and demonstrates a commitment


    to the craft that other writers who are


    simply copycat versions of each other do


    not show taking risks will make your


    work stand out in an overcrowded


    marketplace writers need to do anything


    they can to make their books stand out


    if you are able to write a book which


    appeals to a more niche audience or one


    that grabs reader's attention and they


    might be willing to take a chance on


    your book is more likely to be seen and


    therefore more likely to sell taking


    risks may not always work but when they


    do the payoff is greater of course a


    risk is a risk and therefore the chance


    of failure is greater if you write


    something too obscure too nice too


    complicated it will be harder to find a


    publisher who's willing to take a chance


    on you or find an audience who resonates


    with your work however if you do the


    rewards are huge taking risks wins you

    Hello its Peter here came from a


    writer's life and today how to pick a


    genre to writing many writers don't


    consider the genre they are writing it


    until their book is written it's easy to


    believe that once you've finished


    writing your novel that it will become


    immediately obvious which category it


    falls into and when you are undertaking


    tasks such as submitting to editors or


    selecting the genres where your book


    should City Amazon that it will be easy


    to define your writing in such a way


    however only considering your genre


    after you have finished your story can


    lead to some problems there are perhaps


    some stories that are easier to define a


    classic romance thriller or horror story


    for example with many contemporary


    fiction books it can be a little more


    tricky and in fact you can find your


    story crosses the boundaries of many


    different genres a little bit of romance


    but mostly a thriller a ghost story with


    some comedy thrown in and so on the


    trouble with not being able to clearly


    define your genre is that you then


    cannot clearly define your audience one


    of the most important things you should


    be able to do and submitting your novel


    to publishers and agents or when


    marketing it yourself is to be able to


    define who your audience is to be able


    to prove that there is a market for your


    book out there that there are readers


    ready and waiting to devour it if you


    are vague about your genre agents of


    publishers will have a harder time being


    convinced they can sell your book where


    will it sit in a bookstore will readers


    be annoyed if they pitch it as a romance


    novel when actually perhaps it is more


    of a fantasy book it's the same when you


    come to choose where to place your book


    if self-publishing on sites such as


    Amazon if readers disagree with your


    choice then you


    could end up with negative reviews


    readers do not like to be mislead after


    all so how do you choose a genre to


    write it first of all right with an


    audience in mind you should always


    consider your reader when you write


    before you start why not try to identify


    who your target audience is sketch out


    an idea of what they like get to know


    them what motivates and inspires them


    what makes them tick what you u

      Hello its Peter here a game from writers


    life and today can you really be a


    part-time writer when it comes to


    writing we all hear those stories of


    famous writers you know the ones who are


    ate slept and breathed writing those who


    would guess over three am shaking with


    passion and a fierce unstoppable desire


    to write all their thoughts down those


    who couldn't think of anything other


    than writing who would spend their days


    holed up in their study perhaps a quirky


    just filled share the bottom of their


    garden and not see daylight or eat for


    days on end because their work was so


    consumed well that might be all well and


    good but for most of us the idea of


    being a full-time writer is a bit of a


    luxury we all know how hard it is to get


    published so how much time can we


    realistically spend on our writing while


    still making sure we have a roof over


    our heads


    also it's okay not to want writing to be


    the only thing you do with your life


    writers seem to carry immense amounts of


    guilt around with them they beat


    themselves up for not doing enough for


    not being good enough


    in fact often we are so down on


    ourselves and put so much pressure on


    ourselves it's a wonder we find any joy


    in writing at all sure being a good


    writer requires dedication and


    commitment and discipline there's no


    doubt about it but one can be a


    part-time writer and still progress


    still see targets and still achieve our


    writing dreams when did being a writer


    mean one has to be bleary-eyed neglects


    our friends and families and live on


    crusts of bread and water for weeks on


    end it's like we have to be ashamed if


    we are practically killing ourselves to


    achieve our writing goal


    there's a myth that unless we are waking


    up in the middle of the night and slowly


    becoming reclusive in order to write


    that we can't possibly be passionate


    enough about it or dedicated enough for


    it to be a success writers need to give


    themselves a break at the end of the day


    while it's important to work hard for


    what you want in life it's also


    important to enjoy the process


    so if writing part-time works for you


    and allows you to write at your leisure


    while also enjoy everything else that


    life has to offer


    that's fine in fact achievin

    Hi it's Peter here again from a writer's


    life and today how to get inside your


    readers head one of the most helpful


    things you can do as a writer is to


    identify who your reader is no matter


    what you're writing about figuring out


    exactly who will want to read your work


    and what their reaction will be - it is


    so important right from when you start


    to create your work through to pitching


    and marketing it to help you create a


    piece of writing that will appeal to


    your reader you need to be able to get


    inside their head the more thorough and


    understanding you have of who they are


    and what they want the more easily you


    will be able to mold and shape your


    writing so it will appeal to them of


    course this might be easier said than


    done


    however by making an effort to get to


    know your reader and to truly understand


    them you'll be able to appeal to them


    more through your writing to influence


    them and to turn them into loyal fans so


    what are the things you can do to try


    and get inside your readers head let's


    take a look first do your research


    start off by doing some simple research


    think about the genre your writing


    falls into and the kind of person that


    might be interested in that type of book


    you could even go into book shops and


    look at the different people browsing in


    that section or join fan clubs and get


    to know the kind of conversations they


    might have next get feedback all along


    the way make sure you don't wait until


    you've already finished your book or


    piece of writing to get that feedback


    ask your readers questions and get


    feedback throughout the writing process


    this will make it so much easier when


    you go back and big


    to edit and reshape your book next look


    at what other writers are doing one of


    the most helpful things you can do is


    follow your fellow writers and look at


    the different techniques they are using


    to engage readers and pique their


    interest look at successful writers in


    genres similar to yours how does your


    writing compare what do their book


    covers look like what does the blurb on


    the back say check out their social


    media accounts their author profiles


    their websites find all the information


    you can and see what reoccurring themes


    on there that you could
