The New Year is a time for resolutions, refreshed strategies, and redirected priorities. Many people look at the start of a new year as an opportunity to try something different. Maybe it’s in business practices or marketing strategies or even budget adjustments, but how do you know what to change and what to leave the same?
Is the answer in trends and tropes? Maybe the key to success is to shift the content of our manuscripts to suit what is popular in the industry. That’s not necessarily a bad idea, but if you make chasing trends your key strategy, you’d better be able to write really fast and self-publish. Because if you write the manuscript and give it to a traditional publisher, it’s likely that by the time the book hits the shelves the trend will be over.
