Venture Concept No.1

Opportunity

Those who are in need of new reading selections in the market are readers, consumers whose age or preference in genre have them fall in the category of the "young adult genre" target audience. Other people with invested interest are those writers who cannot enter the published industry do to the monopolized domination of the same overused ideas, as well as literary agents and publishing houses who could prosper with introducing some new material into the market. The latter, however, are more of a byproduct or side-effect beneficiary, and thus I will focus on the first. The prototypical customer in this scenario is anyone classified as a young adult (or people who are older than the age bracket and enjoy youth culture... or perhaps more mature children with an evolved reading level). This plagues any and every reader who doesn't even have to be an avid book-enthusiast. In fact, they don't even have to be readers (although those are the most impacted) since movie-goers and people who enjoy other pastimes will be plagues by movie-adaptations of the books or video game renditions and the likes.

Innovation

I made a new story line that features a diverse ensemble and non-cliche plotlines. As for the content itself, I would love to describe in details but I apparently am not allowed to in fear of copyright infringement upon myself (who knew that was a thing, right?). But at least I've got those two main points listed--something new and not used; and that's what really matters in this offering being different than what's out there. I've got more than a few books already written out, so there's a generous start. I've been pushing my writing's presence out there more and had  manuscripts drafted and multiple works either finished or in progress, so half the work's already done.

Venture Concept

I think this will solve the issue quite nicely considering nothing good's come out in quite some time. People don't really need to be convinced, considering that they're just as ready for this. Possible competitors could be anyone trying to race to get published first, but honestly I think the customers would just like that more because at least something--now multiple things--are being brought in from this drought. But content can't be copied per se, so it's not like they're offering the SAME thing. I don't really need to start up my own firm or publishing house (but hey, if that's what it takes to get it done, then--ammirite?). Really what most aspiring authors need is an agent, and they'll find them a publisher. Publishers have the necessary equipment to churn our printed pages and distribute them to retailer and places all over the globe. So not exactly a one-person ordeal.

Three Minor Details

I think my most important resource in this is my creativity, meaning the product itself. Sure, luck would be nice, or perhaps superhuman people skills gifting me with favorable connections, but since I don't have those, I guess it's back to the grind for me. I'm going to let my work speak for itself and the content garner its own followers that will market it themselves. I don’t think I can bank on just magically being swept up into the business, so I’m going to keep trying to entice with the product itself because, in the end, that’s what the people will be reading anyways. That’s what matters, because not all of them will see what goes on behind the scenes, so those things won’t really be what garners its success. The work itself is what would determine that.


The next step for me is probably to continue the one I'm stuck on (it's a trick step, okay? One that's unsteady and made of difficult slippery wood and probably has some loose nails sticking out and creaks when you put pressure on it) which is: keep putting myself up there and be accepted by a literary agent or big-name publishing house. More manuscripts, letters, emails, phone calls, research, and (hopefully I won't have to take more) rejections possibly.


Honestly, once this takes off, I would love to add the continuation novels to the series and hopefully make some alternative-media adaptations. Like with screens and stuff. In video format. That would be pretty sweet. I’d use the profits and attention nicely.
