Write what you're passionate about, not what's trendy. What's popular today will probably not be popular or trendy when you're ready to publish your book. Write what inspires you or fires you up!

I'm currently working on Holocaust survivor biography and a YA Holocaust fiction novel.
The biography is of the most charming, wonderful Holocaust survivor, I've ever met. I was paired with him last year when I was chosen to work with 20 writers from around the world to work on a Holocaust Survivor project. We each had to write an essay on our survivor and then the essays were published into a reference book for educators and students to use starting this semester. My partner asked me if I would be interested in turning his story into a book. I couldn't say "yes" quick enough!
The YA fiction novel is about an orphan deported to Auschwitz and the unlikely friendship he forms with a guard.
