Todd Gallowglas on 7/19/2019 7:41:00 PM<br /> <div class="asl-wikipage-summary"> <p>Finding a wide audience for a book is difficult, particularly when an author writes in a niche genre. Part of the effort to attract new readers happens in the marketing process. Part of the effort happens, though, in the writing process itself. M. Todd Gallowglas, writer, critic, and educator, explains how to write genre fiction in a way that attracts a wider variety of readers. It&rsquo;s not difficult to find a built-in audience for genres such as fantasy, horror, or science fiction. Most of these readers will read the book because they like and follow that genre. The challenge, he explains, is expanding your reach and drawing in readers that don&rsquo;t normally read your genre. One tip to attract these readers is to write in a way that transcends&nbsp;the niche genre. For example, Stephen King does this well with his horror novels by humanizing his characters. People who don&rsquo;t read horror will read Stephen King novels because his characters and stories appeal to the masses.

The challenge, he explains, is drawing readers who don&rsquo;t normally read your genre. The trick to doing that is to write in a way that transcends one genre. Stephen King, for example, does this well. People who don&rsquo;t read horror will read Stephen King novels because he writes fascinating life-like characters.
