The biggest mistake new fiction writers make is not naming their category clearly.
Without a clear category, you’re writing without an audience—no one knows who you’re for or why they should care.
Define your space, claim your readers, and build your tribe.
Socialism is violence.
Your diet should be 90% animal-based.

Settling is killing both you and the other person.
New way: Naming your fiction category
- Focused storytelling that hits reader desires
- Targeted marketing that builds loyal fans
- Readers come to you for exactly what they want
Old way: Writing without a clear category
- Random storytelling without audience in mind
- Marketing guesswork and scattershot promotions
- Readers unsure what to expect
3 reasons naming your fiction category matters:
- It defines your audience—know who you’re writing for.
- It shapes your book’s marketing and visibility.
- It positions your work among similar stories readers trust.
Know your category, and you build affinity that sells.
What every new fiction writer should do:
Choose a clear genre or category
Understand the expectations of that category
Write stories that fulfill those expectations
Market directly to that category’s audience
When you do this, your message lands and your readers find you.
