What is My Brand?

Should writers brand themselves or be a multi-faceted writer?

There are differing opinions to this. If you focus on one objective, you will miss other opportunities. If your chosen field falters, you may not be able to move forward in it.

I've been a multi-faceted throughout my life and have had many writing experiences. Where do I go from here?

Do I focus (brand myself) on one area exclusively? Or do I venture into the various opportunities that come along, or that I seek out?

Writers Build Upon Their Published Books

Writers are taught to "get the most mileage from the material they research and write. When we write a book, can we write others in the same vein or related to it? You'll even find this in the children's book writing field.

When I discovered the children's story book, The Quiltmaker's Gift, I didn't realize there were related books with quilt patterns and suggestions. In researching an answer for a reader's question about this book, I discovered more and wrote about them in Follow-up Books for the Quiltmaker's Gift.

How can you expand upon the books you write, whether they're for children or adults, fiction or non-fiction. Put on your thinking cap!
