17: What If Someone Already Wrote Your Idea?

from For Women who Write · host Mikaela Mathews

What do you do when someone else has already written on your topic?Or worse—when it feels like everyone has?In this episode, we’re talking about the discouragement that can creep in when you realize your book idea isn’t “new.”Originality in nonfiction is rarely about inventing a brand-new subject. It’s about bringing structure, specificity, and a distinct angle to a shared conversation.If you’ve ever wondered:• “Is this too saturated?”• “Who am I to write this?”• “Do I need a more unique idea?”This conversation will ground you. You don't need a brand new idea. You just need the right angle and structure. And that's something we can build. If you want help with that, join us for another workshop!
