There are numerous creative writing courses available. But only few teach the most necessity part of Creative Writing – Researching the market before setting the pen to paper.
We all write and let our imagination and creativity flow, we feel great when we see our book or article is published, what we need to identify here is 80% of successful writers simply do a tiny bit of browsing in a library or bookstore or online even before they start to write. Researching gives an edge to the writer.
Here is a way to make sure that there is an interest in your type of story before you pick up a pen:
1) Local bookstores and writing magazines are good source of knowledge to understand what is the type of story the editor is looking for. Just by doing a bit of research you will know which editors are looking for what type of stories.
2) Look at the current Writer’s Guide. Here a point that every writer should identify is – Writer Guides are the places where publishers and editors regularly express what they are sick of.
3) Check out the bookshelves to see which children’s books are featured. Is there a trend or pattern? For example the last few years Harry Potter, Artemis Fowl and Charlie Bone have all been hot. It doesn’t take a brain surgeon to figure out that magical characters have taken kids and editors by storm.
4) Ask kids what their favorite books are. Ask them why they like one over the other. Ask if their friends are into the same books. Model these themes.
There is no need to make over the wheel or hire a psychic to figure out what publishers, editors and your audience – kids, are looking for. Gather this information and apply it to your writing.
Watch the number of your submissions rise, while your rejection letters become few and far between.
