Markets Come First: Who's Buying?
Markets always come first, and you'll take a giant stride toward professionalism when you start looking at the world as a collection of markets.
Want to write a book? Find publishers who are buying the kind of book you want to write.
Want to write articles? Ditto. Check out markets. I'm sure you've heard people saying that you must read the publications for which you want to write.
