ABOUT THIS EPISODE
If you want to be the type of middle-grade writer who creates books with characters who feel like real people, and transports kids out of their own world into the imaginary one you have created in such a way that they lose themselves and actually feel some sort of grief when the book ends…
… then you need to start with understanding who middle-grade readers are, in general, and who the ideal reader is for YOUR book.
In this episode, I cover:
- reasons why it's important to get to know your ideal reader
- 8 questions you can ask to get to know them
- how this will help you outline, draft, revise, publish and market your book
