A number of published writers have told me that it’s important to differentiate between _writing_ problems and _marketing_ problems.

The writing problem, in a nutshell, is to write the best book you can.

The marketing problem is to find readers who want to read _that_ book.

Trying to solve the marketing problem before you’ve even written the book gets it exactly backwards.
