Who is Your Ideal Reader?

Update: 2025-09-18

Description

In this episode of Master Fiction Writing, we'll discuss the importance of identifying your ideal reader in the writing process, how understanding your audience can enhance the emotional connection of your story - and making it more impactful.

By focusing on a specific reader rather than trying to please everyone, writers can create stories that resonate deeply and fulfil the needs of their audience.

We'll also highlight the significance of envisioning the reader's experience and the potential impact of the book on their lives.
