Day 7 - Market Definition, Querry & Synopsis

Wednesday, Oct. 07
*Required: Market Definition ▼
Describe your target audience. Identify a demographic profile including gender, race, age, disabilities, mobility, home ownership, employment status, education, income level, marital status, location and other commonly evaluated data. Explain in detail what aspects of your novel will appeal to this particular audience and why.

My novel will appeal to women in the thirty to fifty age group. Being a White Algo-saxon writer I am thinking my story will apply to people of a similar demographic. My readers will be able to identify with and emphasize with my character - she is a young mid-thirties woman facing a husband's betrayal while she struggles to follow her dreams of teaching and writing. Writers or anyone trying to follow their dreams may find this story appealing.

*Bonus: Query Letter OR Narrative Voice Synopsis ▼
Query Letter: Draft your query letter . Here's another article about queries.
Narrative Voice Synopsis: Write a synopsis of your novel using the same narrative voice you will use to tell the story.

First paragraph... the hook
The "When" Formula: As you can see, we’re a fan of the when formula: “When such and such event happens, your main character—a descriptive adjective, age, professional occupation—must confront further conflict and triumph in his or her own special way. Sure, it’s a formula, but it’s a formula that works.

However, be warned...everyone and their grandmother who reads this site will try using our "when" formula, so we recommend simply using it as a starting point. Write your basic hook, then try spicing things up as you get more and more into the groove of "hooking." And don't worry, it's legal in every state, not just Nevada.

Next paragraph... the mini synopsis

Next paragraph... the writer's bio
