#15 Getting to Know Your Ideal Middle-Grade Reader


Listen Later

If you want to be the type of middle-grade writer who creates books with characters who feel like real people, and transports kids out of their own world into the imaginary one you have created in such a way that they lose themselves and actually feel some sort of grief when the book ends… 

… then you need to start with understanding who middle-grade readers are, in general, and who the ideal reader is for YOUR  book.

In this episode, I cover:

  • reasons why it's important to get to know your ideal reader
  • 8 questions you can ask to get to know them 
  • how this will help you outline, draft, revise, publish and market your book

I've created a PDF handout you can download that sums up the episode: loupiccolo.com/reader
