Question by Epitome: What is your own special niche?
Your “specialised but profitable corner of the market.” All authors have one, sometimes its just a matter of finding yours. It could be anything from use of archaic words, making your story more entertaining, your ability to write in different accent, or even your strange fascination with mushrooms; they all play a part in what makes your story divinely yours.
My personal métier is description of battles.

mine is romance, i cant write a book without having it somewhere, when i try, i end up finding a way to put it anyways, my strength is writing from a girls point of view and usually i can only write as being the high school character the main character can never be a little kid or an adult, i can only write about teens
I write with the visual detail of a painter or a director. The reader knows exactly where they are in a room and what is in the room and how it is significant to both characterization and tone. My editor says it is a ‘matrix-like’ approach to writing. The thing is that some people hate it, others love it. I don’t think there is a middle ground.
My style of writing is also elegant more formal. Most say ‘big words’ but the words say more about me as the author than the characters since I am normally that omniscient pov that tells the story. So a bit of the real me is there and therefore my own voice is strong and concise. It also helps the reader to distinguish between POV since my overall voice is so sharp then it is so different from the characters walking around in my world.
I also manage to bring the reader successfully into my world and then they find things I didn’t even see. I like that particularly. Their interpretations of my written words.
Oh yeah and my erotica is hotter than fire.
“All authors have one” — hmm, not too sure about that, but still…
I suppose mine would be my enthusiasm for inventing a ridiculously detailed backstory for my fantasy worlds, 99% of which has little relevance to the story. Why do I do it? Because I don’t know which 1% is going to be useful until I’ve written it. As such I end up with dozens of cities/towns, characters, historical events, and so on. Further to this, my specialty is inventing exotic names for them.
Interestingly, battle-writing is my Achille’s heel. Hence why there are so few battles in my fantasy books… ¬_¬
