Can you pursue publication of a book outside of your lane? My short answer is yes. My long answer is BUT. This whole kerfuffle in publishing isn’t your fault, but it becomes your responsibility. Just like writing outside of your lane requires due diligence, so does publishing outside of your lane.

Publishing a book is impressive, even if it’s not a book you’re personally impressed with. Second, any book can fill a need. That’s why some “poorly written” books jump into stardom.
