Note: This is '''NOT''' just about people who write about their current interest or hobby, but instead is about whether or not the interest or hobby is depicted very realistically because the author does it for a living or grows up around it, etc. If it is, then it's '''Write What You Know'''. If it isn't depicted realistically, then they're no different than any other author. |

Comparing [[Shown Their Work]] and [[Write What You Know]]: Shown Their Work is for the times when the writer did the research on a subject and let the results appear in the work, while Write What You Know is for the times when the writer knew the subject from previous experience. As an example, somebody who researched a particular small town would know where the only diner is, while somebody who grew up in that town would know what to order because it's the cook's specialty. |
