So, you’ve tried your hand at writing a novel, but it just didn’t work out for a number of reasons. You’d like to write something, but your head is spinning.

Have you ever thought of writing in a different format? 

Here is a list I made. Perhaps you’ll find a new possibility: 

• Novellas
• Short stories (Guideposts is always looking for inspirational stories.)
• Non-fiction
• Poetry
• Blogs
• Tweets (yes, you can write and sell your original Tweets. They can be humorous, quotes, inspirational, etc.)
• Newspaper articles
• Magazine articles
• Newsletters
• Greeting cards
• Directions for products
• Directions for games (such as board games)
• Jokes (yes, there is a big market for you jokesters!)
• Skits
• Educational textbooks
• Wants Ads/ For Sale Ads
• Screenplays (Movie scripts)
• Television Scripts
• Plays/musicals
• Menus (believe it or not)
• “How-To” Manuals
• Television Commercials
• Sky Mall Magazine Product Ads (The daughter of a friend of mine wrote for this airplane magazine for several years).
