Why do readers read? Is it just for entertainment? To escape everyday life? Or is there a deeper need?
What is it about story that keeps us captivated from beginning to end?
It helps to understand why stories are so impactful and precisely what readers are hungry for when they turn to a book.
In this throwback episode from Season 3, we're going into the mind of your reader, and what they want when they turn to your story.
We'll explore what the reader is actually responding to when he forgets about the real world and gets entranced by the world on the page.
So you can use this intel to craft your story.
