![]() From the desk of Phyllis Picture Book Author Ciao Writers, You begin to write a story about something that really interests you. You are excited. You are ready to shout, “Everyone is going to love this!”. But, hold on. Sit back and ask yourself, “Who is going to read this and feel the same way I do?” Once you have the answer to that question, then that’s considered knowing your audience. Another word for audience in the writer’s world is ‘readership’. Before sitting down to put those ideas on paper, know who you are writing for. You, yourself, of course! But, then after that???? Who is your audience? For me, my readership is those who read board books, picture books, etc. So, I know I’m going to use words that are age appropriate. I know I’m going to write sentences that paint emotional and physical images. I know that my words are written to be illustrated easily. In order for your book to be marketed successfully and for you to gain a loyal following, knowing your readership is crucial. Happy Writing! See you next time. Cheers, 😊 Phyllis
