The story gap is where it’s at. I got lucky and stumbled onto a story gap with my first series. Then I wrote 5 other series that didn’t click with the market at all. My existing readers enjoyed the new stuff but they didn’t engage new readers much. Minding the gap before I’d started writing these new series would have helped immensely.
Well now your next 5 series are going to be even more on point 😊. I had a similar experience with my first series too— at least to a much higher degree than my second. It’s amazing sometimes how our initial instinct and intuition leads us to great stuff! Sometimes we can over complicate it as we get further along. That first insight of “I wish this kind of story existed, what if I wrote it?” Is often the magic.
