Writing For the Reader

by Alfie Thompson

There are 100s, probably 1000s of articles, workshops, conferences and books on the craft of storytelling. Very few address what readers expect, want and need. Bestseller lists are packed with the names of authors who have figured it out.

Authors who consistently top bestseller lists use a secret that’s easy to incorporate into your writing. Whether those mega-bestselling authors know and use ‘the secret’ by design or by instinct isn’t important.

Learn their magic and keep your readers turning pages and buying your next books.

Writing is all about readers. Obvious? Yes, but how many of us write for ourselves or the market and forget this simple truth. This book is about what readers want. You’ll learn how to:

* Make reading your book F.U.N.

* Address the four basic emotional needs your readers have when they read your book.

* Magically make reading your book more enjoyable with one simple-to-use technique.

Readers create success in this business. Want fame? The more loyal readers you have, the more famous you’ll be. Want fortune? That takes fans, too. If you care about fame and fortune or write just because you have stories you want to share, you should deliberately write with your readers in mind. This mini-book will tell you how.
