I am totally agree with you on that topic “most specialized writing happens accidentally” Lori.

Specialty niche – yes, yes, yes. Perhaps it’s anecdotal, but my fellow writers who specialize seldom lack for work, whereas those I know who are generalists often struggle to get enough work. For my own niche (alternative health), I always had an interest in it, but didn’t target those prospective clients specifically. Then, a few years ago, when I had a chronically ill child and institutionalized medicine had nothing to offer him, that interest became a passion. Today, my son is robustly healthy and the vast majority of my work is in the alternative health industry.

We all have dream, Tei. :))

Actually, grant writing courses abound. You could probably get hooked up with one online.

Go for it! Live the dream!!

Ooh, non-profits. My favorite people ever. Actual world-savers and superheroes. They're awesome. I have to learn how to write grants. It's my next big task. Up until now I've been doing all their promotional material, but I cannot tell you how often I've been asked if I write grants when I tell people I write for non-profits.

Great post, Lori.
