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. Every work has two audiences a target audience and the actual
audience; writers must evaluate their style and genre carefully to attain their
preferred audience. Knowing how to employ these two paramount aspects of
writing: audience and genre, is one of the secrets to being a successful writer.

Solid job connecting the key terms "audience" and "genre." You start off literary genres, which are one version of "genre," but in this class I want to push you all to think instead of writing genres. Fortunately, you do then give examples of writing genres ("Blog, essay, play, or letter"). However, I would push you to clarify what you mean by "affect your audience" - how so? You give two good examples in the next two sentence fragments; you could instead connect those fragments to your previous sentence, like so: "Genres would also affect your audience; for example, more scholarly publications are intended for an educated audience between the ages of twenty to fifty, while a blog serves as a better means of communicating with a younger crowd of teenagers and college students."
