Audience and Genre

When beginning the arduous task of writing, one must keep in mind who the intended audience is, based not only on the style of writing that will be more efficient, but also the theme, and the means by which it will be communicated. The theme is very closely related to the genre. Depending on your genre your audience will differ. For example, nonfiction tends to be geared more toward an older audience, while fiction is more focused on younger readers. Also, the genre is the type of work you present, which can be published as a blog, essay, play, or letter. This would also affect your audience. As more scholarly publications tend to be intended for an educated audience between the ages of twenty to fifty. While a blog is a more adequate means of publication, to communicate with a younger crowd of teenagers and college students.

Knowing how to employ these two paramount aspects of writing: audience and genre, is one of the secrets to being a successful writer
