Essentials of Writing

Write What You Care About and Understand

“All good books will eventually find a publisher if the writer tries hard enough, and a central secret to writing a good book is to write on that which people like you will enjoy. Write what you care about and understand.”

-RICHARD NORTH PATTERSON
