Finding your niche
You must find your subject of expertise or define
your area of interest. It is difficult to be a ‘generalist’ as a writer.
Writers, almost by definition, are thought of as authorities or even experts on
the subjects on which they write. Think about it. When you read an article in a
magazine about a specific subject, let’s say you have an interest in movie
making, that you expect the person authoring the article is extremely well
informed at the very least. More than likely, you want to know what the
author’s qualifications are before you weigh the opinions expressed in the
article.
As your career as a freelance writer blossoms,
opportunities to expand your interest shall arise. When they do, you can
determine whether to change roads or stay on the one you had already chosen.
