Your Ideal Reader is the person you imagine will most love your book – they’re your biggest fan and tell 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. Because your Ideal Reader has an impact on everything from your editing process to pitching to agents and even your marketing, 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 they hang out, and what’s going to get them to open your newsletters, read your books, and be excited about all your future releases.
