Description
<p>Join co-hosts <strong>Adrian M. Gibson, M.J. Kuhn & Greta Kelly </strong>as they delve into a writing masterclass on <strong>Writing for the Reader Experience</strong> with bestselling author <strong>Sunyi Dean</strong>. During the episode, Sunyi caters to the reader, discussing why authors should consider the reader experience, putting yourself in the “beginner’s mindset," offering value to the reader, promises and hooking them from the outset, delivering information at the right time, simple vs. complex prose, writing for yourself vs. the reader, author voice, revision and more.</p><p><strong>NOTE:</strong> This is part two of a two-part chat with Sunyi.
