Writer's Room(10).
Understanding Your Target Audience.
Welcome to the Writer’s Room.
This is a space for people who write, and for people who love understanding how writing works. Here, I break down the craft without overcomplicating it and share what’s happening behind the scenes of my own work.
In this section, we’ll talk about:
• how I build believable characters
• how I layer faith into fiction without preaching
• structure, POV, dialogue, and tension
• writing as both art and discipline
Think of this as pulling up a chair while the work is being made, honest, practical, and grounded in process.
Who are you writing for?
A few creatives have approached me for mentorship and among the few questions I ask them, I consider this a very important one.
While many budding writers can tell you why they are writing, many of them have not fully defined their target audience.
Who are you writing for?
Who are your stories geared at?
Who do you want to read your articles?
Before you begin writing, you must answer these very important questions.
The reason is simple.
Your audience determines your style of writing.
Your audience determines what format your writing is presented in.
Your audience determines what platform your writing is presented on.
Your audience determines what research and resources you consult for growth.
I could go on but I think you get the point.
It’s all about your audience.
