For decades, traditional publishing wisdom has said don’t chase trends. It made sense. A book in traditional publishing usually takes two years or more from finished draft to for sale. By the time a traditionally published book hits the market, whatever trend the writer was chasing is long gone.
But, as indies, one of our major advantages is that we’re quick and agile. In many ways, we’re only limited by how fast we can write and find slots with our chosen editors and cover designers. Because of this, self-published authors have an option that traditionally published authors don’t. We can experiment with writing to market.
