Writer’s Corner is pleased to feature author Janet Elaine Smith who shares her tips about Seasonal Writing
SEASONAL HITS
Know your market. Sounds simple, right? Too often writers look at their targeted reader—by age, gender, genre, etc. But, too often we forget to look at the calendar in connection with our books. The time of the year can be the best marketing tool we have.
Some holidays, of course, are overdone. Saturated to the hilt. There are probably more tools aimed at Christmas than any one single day of the year. So, we will put that aside for the time being and over the next few days you will find a list of holidays (or seasons) that are often forgotten or ignored. If you are working on your next book, why not center it on a certain event or day? It will make it much easier to “plug into” that marketing tool.
March — St. Patrick’s Day
There are a lot of books of Irish sayings, Irish castles and Irish history. But, try to put a new spin on an old story. Put an Irish cop in New York City in the center of a mystery. Put an Irish washerwoman in an historical romance. Or, try an Irish wolfhound as the hero in an adventure.
April — Easter
There are almost no books written about Easter unless they are religious inspirationals. Why not use the opportunity to try your hand at an inspirational romance, where the pastor finds true love on Easter. Easter, like New Year’s, is a symbol of new beginnings. If you are a little warped, you might have a mystery with some guy who is running around, acting as loony as they come, either claiming to be Jesus Christ or Judas Iscariot. Be creative!
