Sometimes it can be difficult to pinpoint your audience, and other times it comes easily. Author Michael R. Crider shares his experiences in identifying the audience for his book and how that sometimes happens naturally when you write from your life experiences. Crider was writing a book for his son, because he wanted his son to know what he went through as an expectant father. But then Crider realized that there weren&rsquo;t very many pregnancy books in the market for men. So he turned his personal work into the book, &quot;The Guy&#39;s Guide to Surviving Pregnancy, Childbirth and the First Year of Fatherhood.&quot; Thinking about the audience while writing helped him speak directly to them. His personal experiences enriched the writing because everything he wrote was sincere&mdash;the good, the bad, and the ugly. The audience connected with his honesty on a deep level.</div> <div class="asl-wikipage-media"><a href="https://www.authorlearningcenter.com/cfs-file/__key/communityserver.wikis.components.files/00-00-00-00-64/MichaelCriderFindinganAudiencebyWritingWhatYouKnowNEW.mp4">www.authorlearningcenter.com/.../MichaelCriderFindinganAudiencebyWritingWhatYouKnowNEW.mp4</a></div> </div><div style="clear:both;"></div> <div style="font-size: 90%;">Tags: fiction, Nonfiction, video</div> https://www.authorlearningcenter.com/writing/i-have-an-idea/w/identifying-your-audience/2134/finding-an-audience-by-writing-what-you-know---video/revision/1Wed, 14 Dec 2016 00:00:00 GMT809ccca5-04d2-44bf-8f5c-ff0a6d33c80b:96111e6a-539c-4fbf-82fe-a4554208ab58Michael Criderhttps://www.authorlearningcenter.com/writing/i-have-an-idea/w/identifying-your-audience/2134/finding-an-audience-by-writing-what-you-know---video#commentsRevision 1 posted to Identifying Your Audience by Michael Crider on 12/14/2016 12:00:00 AM<br /> <div class='asl-wikipage-body'><div class='asl-wikipage-summary'>Finding an audience for your book is an important step in building your author platform and marketing plan.
