Workshop Description:
Your Ideal Reader is the person you imagine will most love your book – she’s your biggest fan and tells everyone about your novels! Knowing who this person is (whether someone real or imagined) can help you write a book that meets—and exceeds—your readers’ expectations. An Ideal Reader has an impact on everything from your editing process to your marketing and pitching and the sooner you know who they are, the better. During this workshop, you’ll be led through several exercises to help you get a clearer picture of your Idea Reader, where she hangs out, and what’s going to get her to open your newsletters and read your books.
