The Right Industry Fit For You

I value my privacy.

So there are some writing niches
I will always avoid.
I don’t write self-help books, for example,
because self-help book readers expect
to see an author’s face,
to view footage of the author
on social media.
They want to feel they know
the person
they’re taking advice from.

Romance readers, in contrast,
are okay
with never seeing an author’s face.
They realize the need
and preference
for privacy.

“If you need to avoid
the front of the parade,
don’t pick an industry
or a cultural setting
where only the people
at the front
are treated well.”

Pick the right industry
and niche for you.
Ensure your preferences
don’t damage
your odds of success.
