Hi it's Peter here again from a writer's

life and today how to get inside your

readers head one of the most helpful

things you can do as a writer is to

identify who your reader is no matter

what you're writing about figuring out

exactly who will want to read your work

and what their reaction will be - it is

so important right from when you start

to create your work through to pitching

and marketing it to help you create a

piece of writing that will appeal to

your reader you need to be able to get

inside their head the more thorough and

understanding you have of who they are

and what they want the more easily you

will be able to mold and shape your

writing so it will appeal to them of

course this might be easier said than

done

however by making an effort to get to

know your reader and to truly understand

them you'll be able to appeal to them

more through your writing to influence

them and to turn them into loyal fans so

what are the things you can do to try

and get inside your readers head let's

take a look first do your research

start off by doing some simple research

think about the genre your writing

falls into and the kind of person that

might be interested in that type of book

you could even go into book shops and

look at the different people browsing in

that section or join fan clubs and get

to know the kind of conversations they

might have next get feedback all along

the way make sure you don't wait until

you've already finished your book or

piece of writing to get that feedback

ask your readers questions and get

feedback throughout the writing process

this will make it so much easier when

you go back and big

to edit and reshape your book next look

at what other writers are doing one of

the most helpful things you can do is

follow your fellow writers and look at

the different techniques they are using

to engage readers and pique their

interest look at successful writers in

genres similar to yours how does your

writing compare what do their book

covers look like what does the blurb on

the back say check out their social

media accounts their author profiles

their websites find all the information

you can and see what reoccurring themes

on there that you could apply it to your

writing and marketing plans use actual

data there are plenty of programs out

there which can give you a real insight

into your readers your potential readers

and their behavior even just looking at

your engagement on social media and try

to get a picture of the types of people

that are interested in what you're

saying can help you to build up a

picture of who your ideal reader might

be create a persona once you've gathered

together as much information as possible

use this to create an ideal reader

persona write down as much as you can

about them and stick up the details

leads away you're right

you can then always refer to this and

always keep them in mind when you're

writing if you're stuck then you can use

them to help you simply ask yourself

what your reader would want to happen

and if you know them well enough you

should have your answer getting inside

your readers head can make a difference

when it comes to the popularity and

success of your book so it's well worth

trying to get to know your reader and

use this knowledge to help shape your

writing
