It opened me up to different and better writing styles, for one thing. I used to only read long, ongoing epic fantasy series, and because of that, I was stuck on one author&#039;s writing for a long period of time, only to then jump into another long epic series. So branching away into YA fantasy, humor, and fairytale genres has taught me a lot about what all else is out there and the potential and many author voices. :) I hope that makes sense.]]></description>

It&#039;s amazing how beneficial market research can be - and for reasons we might not think of at first. How do you think your research has helped you so far? What in particular have you learned from it?]]></description>

Oooh, a Viking novel? Very cool! I&#039;ll let you know if I come across any. ;) And what you&#039;re doing is exactly what I&#039;ve been doing for my fairy character project (and what I&#039;ll do in the near future for mermaids). So I hope it gives you the insights you&#039;re looking for - and have fun!]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[This is a great tip! I haven&#039;t done market research like this YET, but I&#039;ve already started making reading lists for some of my upcoming story ideas. For example, I want to write a novel about Vikings, and I have at least half a dozen Viking-related novels on my TBR list for this reason! ;) But, I should to this more. &quot;Knowing how your WIP fits into the current market&quot; definitely speaks to me.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[&quot;It Prepares You for Pitching, Querying, and All Future Steps in the Publishing Process&quot;--this was something I hadn&#039;t thought of about market research, but it makes sense; and I like the idea of creating a list of authors to ask for quotes. I have done some market research for my current WIP. Keeping up with what&#039;s new on the bookshelves has taught me a lot about the YA Fantasy market and what readers are currently looking for.
Great post, Sara!]]></description>

All good points, Tori! And Googling ideas for titles isn&#039;t a bad idea, either. Finding unique titles can be tough, but if we&#039;re smart we can find ones that are both unique and appropriate for our story.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Great post, Sara! I&#039;ve had to do a lot of marketing research for book proposals. Also when I get a new idea, I try to google the concept to see if anything comes up and I especially google the title. I don&#039;t want there to be five different other titles like mine.
