>For example, when I wrote Shearwater, a young adult mermaid romance set in Ireland, I targeted people who liked young adult books, mermaids, and Ireland.

So he targeted w*men, perverts, and Somalians? What kind of audience is that?

If you are writing for success and money, you sre doing it for the wrong reasons. You'll end up doing something mediocre because it wont come from a genuine interest, it wont come from the soul, it will come from a pursue of money and you will get lost in the details and the fads.

People can tell when shit is fake, and most people wont bother with it. Write because you want to and about what calls you, and then try your luck.

I do write from a genuine interest but I see there's no point if no one or if even a handful of people like friends and family are the only one who will read it.
