PACKAGE 2: Target Audience and Demographics for Books
Identify and understand reader demographics and intended audience in writing to maximise your book’s success
Creative writing is a form of art, but in the publishing game, works of art don’t go to museums: they go to market. This means that your book doesn’t just need to be a great idea, beautifully written. It needs to be a marketable product that meets industry standards.
As an author, you create the product: your book. But it’s readers who create the market and publishers who decide if it belongs there. That’s why it’s crucial to know who your book’s primary audience is, what they want and expect from it, and what criteria your book needs to fit to get published.
Without targeting your book from the beginning, you may pour your passion, creativity and hard work into a manuscript that will never get published.
If you want to ensure every minute and ounce of energy you spend on your book pays dividends through publication, this package is for you.
