hello there is Peter here again with

more tips and advice from writers life

now coming up today do you know who you

are writing for when you sit down to

write it's always a good idea to ask

yourself before you start who am i

writing for the answer may be obvious

and straightforward or it might be

elusive and complicated are you writing

for yourself do you have a very

particular person in mind do you want

your opinion or story to be heard by a

particular group do you want to be

acknowledged or perhaps you are just

writing for anyone who will listen of

course it can be a combination of many

of these things most writers would say

that they write both for themselves for

the love of creating stories and playing

with language and for their audiences

whoever they may be how important is it

to know who you are writing for most

writers would argue that it is

imperative indeed if you are hoping to

have commercial success having a target

audience in mind will help you to craft

and shape your writing so that it

appeals directly to them you might also

want to think about how to attract

readers from further afield not just the

lovers of the genre or the ones who

already agree with your opinion will

naturally gravitate towards your work

but those on the fringes too perhaps

those who you would think would have no

interest in what you have to say how do

you persuade these audiences to listen

to you or to take a chance on your

writing and just give it a go

how do you find the right balance

between being true to yourself your

motivations and passions and writing for

an audience telling them what they want

to hear the key to effective writing is

knowing your reader and being able to

accurately predict what they want and

what they expect and then adhering to

that or alternatively surprising them

showing them something new different are

more exciting than they have ever

anticipated before how to identify your

audience ask yourself the following

questions who do you hope will read this

write down who your ideal reader would

be give them a name a personality bring

them to life this person is your target

audience you need to discover how they

think what excites them what turns them

off get to know them as intimately as

possible and you will have the best

chance of getting them to see your

points of view engage with your

characters buy your product or do

whatever it is you are trying to

persuade them to do who else might read

this don't just limit yourself to your

ideal audience think further beyond them

think of all the places your book

article blog post or newsletter might

end up are there other people we might

reach that you haven't considered

how could you reach out to them and

connect with them further and more

effectively you also need to consider

what you are hoping to achieve by

communicating with your audience it

might be to sell products increase their

understanding of a particular topic to

get them to share your work to sign up

to a newsletter or it might be to

persuade them around to your way of

thinking to be moved or inspired by your

story or simply to enjoy your book your

aims are important because if you don't

fulfill them no matter how many people

you've reached you won't feel satisfied

that you have achieved what you set out

to achieve understanding who you are

writing for regardless of the type of

writing you are doing can make all the

difference when it comes to connecting

with your audience

creating a following and motivating them

to act so next time you sit down to

write make sure you consider who your

reader is and think about how you can

speak to

write or finish your book our free
