Writing is such a personal show of expression which shows so much about a writer from their styles to their passions. It takes so much time for a writer to build up their style and audience. This is met with a lot of challenges that range from who to write for to what type of writing are you passionate about. Being a young writer can be an advantage since you have enough time to grow and understand what makes your work appealing. Being young is an appeal within itself. It gives a fresher outlook that many outlets are on the look for. The downside though is that a younger writer may lack the experience that older writers have.

There are many writers out there who are vying for the same position you are so it’s important to both have a unique style and to research topics that the outlet hasn’t talked about before. For example, if the outlet is about Spanish music and you are passionate about the complexities of instruments then it’s important to look into what the outlet hasn’t written about. Then take a side that hasn’t been covered around the topic. Maybe talk about the history behind different Spanish instruments or how each instrument has helped spread the culture of Spanish music. This way it is both on topic but also fits with what you are passionate about.
