    I don't feel like my talent is not important to anyone In this world Everyone becomes followers now and they're accept mediocrity I'm not I'm just a talent person Who's love his dreams since I was little who's have a very strong desire of their talent and dreams however People don't want to see my talent it's like no one cares about me or don't care about my talents or not good enough.

    Have you considered participating in a competition that is geared towards your specific talents to muster any appeal for your work?

    Hello Moonboy93, if you want to be a writer one thing I would say you have to do is READ, READ, READ. Read loads - fiction, non fiction, all sorts. Don't skimp. You cannot hope to be a writer unless you love reading.

    And then write. Write your own stories, write a diary, set up your own blog. Try and write to the same standard of the things you love reading. Slowly and surely you will get better.

    I notice that at present your grammar and punctuation is a bit awry. But don't worry - the more you read, the more you will internalise the rules of English and they will become second nature.

    Good luck!

    Er...you're forgetting one of the largest markets for English language books out there: children (and their parents).

    I'm assuming your comment is a question. In which case, yes, I can confirm that people really do love children's books. Children especially. And their parents.

    All of her controversial comments aside, I think JK Rowling's success with the Harry Potter Brand is a perfect example.

    Agreed. I think she even gets royalties anytime something is done with Harry Potter beyond the books. That tells me she must have gotten a good deal when she sold off the rights for her creation.

    Oh yes, one of the biggest markets in the world, I would not be surprised if it wasn't the biggest. The range is enormous, from picture books all the way through to Young Adult. Children read, their parents read, a well written book is read by every age, and the type of books you mentioned you wanted to write are the types of books that people like to read. I remember when Harry Potter came out, it was meant for kids, but teens and adults were also reading them, and of course there is always a new market as children get older and parents want to introduce their favourite books to them. Example, Roald Dahl, his books always sell well year after year.
    As Chicodeoro, said you need to read, research the market, see what's out there and what has gone before, maybe take a Writing for Children online course.
    Also, just write, write every day, all your ideas and things that just come into your head, characters, dialogue, plot points, as you never know when you can use it.
    I still have some of my favourite children's books and Young adult books, and enjoy introducing my children to new ones.
    I wish you every success
