Who are my Target Readers? Workshop # 3
No one sent feedback on the discussion of last week’s workshop.
(I’m trying hard not to let that discourage me; but now you’ll have to spy upon me running this session alone again. and I hope you will decide to jump in and take part).
Just looking again over all the themes I found in my novel, Ruthe’s Secret Roses, I realize they are all good, but there may be too many of them. I’m just not sure what to chop out if I were to re-write the book. And I really truly would like some help to determine what is the main theme, so that I can focus on that in my sales material and how I promote the book to the public.
But let me not camp on that right now. Let’s move forward and discuss demographics. That means, who does this book appear to be aimed for?
Survey forms are easily compromised, but I will set this up as a quick vote survey with a new email and after about a week or so, I will delete the email address, so if you are willing to hazard even a guess or two, I would ask that you cast your vote before next Tuesday, May 3.

Then enter in the subject line the numbers below that you think are true. Enter also a N or Y depending on whether you can truthfully say you have read my book or not.
If you are willing to add a few more moments of time, you can answer the last three questions, A, B, and C, in the body of the email.
