My business partner and I are starting our own niche fiction publishing company Cozy Cat Press which will cater to readers of "cozy mysteries" which are more gentle and less bloody than typical thrillers.

I am in the research stage of starting a free monthly niche newspaper and just finished your book. I found it very helpful, on many levels. I am headed to Amazon.com for your new book next. And I look forward to reading your blog on a regular basis. Thank you for sharing your knowledge in the publishing business with those of us that need some help venturing into it.

Niche markets are easier to advertise and will attract more targeted prospects.

An excellent explanation of an often misunderstood topic. We, too, talk to so many authors who made the mistake of signing up with a "subsidy" firm, only to learn the hard way that this is not the path to self-publishing success. Unfortunately, these firms have larger advertising budgets than the smaller firms who offer better advice, and so they come up first in the search engines. To someone just beginning their research into self-publishing, it seems that this is the only way to go about it.

Interesting idea, Tom. I did it the other way around. When I found an already-existing magazine that was in the niche that I was interested in and had some knowledge about and pitched my ideas to them. I always included a comment in my query letter to the editor about a particular article in the current issue that I really liked. After more than 30 years of doing that, I now have magazines coming looking for me instead of the other way around, which I did for a long time. And yes, you can earn a living by doing it that way too. I guess I'm a chicken. I want somebody else to do all the hard work, leaving me free to do the writing for them. So far, it has worked for well over 3000 published articles, 3 magazines where I am a contributing editor (with regular articles and columns published in almost every issue), and the Assoc. Ed. for another one.

I agree about fiction niches. My upcoming book titled SYMMETRY taps into a very large niche audience--approximately 8 million people in the U.S. alone who have trichotillomania, or compulsive hair pulling. Both SYMMETRY's heroine and its author have the disorder and intend to show the world that it's nothing to be ashamed of.
