This is the second post of a mini series called, “Interviews With Readers!” All too often, authors search for advice about what sells a book. But then I had a thought…how often do we actually hear directly from the reader? Writers spend their time taking in advice from the writing community, agents, marketing experts, etc. (and those are all incredibly valuable). But we should also take in information from our main audience.
Thus, I reached out to several avid readers and asked them to fill out this brief questionnaire.
For writers, the goal is to collect insights for you as you go about writing and marketing your work.
For readers, the goal is to highlight you! We wouldn’t be authors without you, so thank you!
****If you’re interested in being featured as an avid reader, and would like to fill out the questionnaire, email me at tesoroseries@gmail.com.

What are your favorite genres of books?
Action, thriller, romance
What draws you to a book when shopping in person or online?
I'd have to say the description. And a good cover is always nice because it catches the attention of the reader.
What makes a reader feel emotionally attached to a character? Any examples?
Probably the character being put into a real-life situation. For me, books about people being alone really hit me because I'm not your average gal and I don't have a lot of friends.
What do you think makes a reader remember a story long after reading the book? Any examples?
I think the plot has everything to do with making a reader remember a story. If you don't put too many details but still put enough where it brings the story together and give it what it needs it's easier to remember a story.
