I recently read an article about how writers need to connect more with the wants of readers. The idea is to help writers. The only way to get these answers though is to do a survey or ask people in a blog what they want to read.
I love to read children’s books and some adult fantasy and mystery books. I have also been reading some fantasy young adult. Please comment below what you like to read?
The reason I read these genres is because this is what I like to write. In the book store or library, my head will be bobbing up and down in the children book sections examining all the new or old titles, looking for the next big hit. I love to explore new authors works. I also like to read what is at the top of the New York Times bestseller list. This keeps me up to date on what the market is selling, or publishers pushing, and also what readers are hungry for.
Readers are an important part of the writing process. They keep authors writing more to please them. When a book review comes up on Goodreads or Amazon about a book you wrote, then you want to read it no matter if it is good or bad. Authors are starving for feedback. What is working and what is killing a book?
I love readers and I feel happy when I see someone curled up in a chair with their nose in a book.
