Breakout Session
Writing and Marketing for the Now and Next Generation
Are you a writer who wants to make sure your writing reaches the “now” and “next” generations? We write for needs that are present now, but we also want books to carry over into the next generation. We need writers who can span the generations and the needs of older to younger readers. We often see cycles of books repeat by topics. What is published today often comes back a couple of years later with a different title, a slightly changed premise, but speaking to the generation that needs the “now” word. What words is God giving you that are not just for now, but for the next generation? This workshop will focus on writing for, and marketing to, the “now” and “next” generations. Different audiences respond differently to formats, styles, voices, children’s stories, non-fiction, fiction, and devotionals. And there are different ways to market to different generations of readers. We’ll look at specific genres and how to best present your voice to be timeless, not too trendy, and relatable for books that are sought after. We’ll cover some of the “how tos” and the “whys” behind how many writers struggle to know which format and book to write out of their many ideas – what is a “now” and perhaps “later” book. You can walk away feeling more fixed on your idea and your voice to convey it.
