Readers and writers – a symbiotic relationship. Ideas spark writers to create stories and build worlds and characters for readers’ consumption. Readers add imagination and thought to interpret those stories, deriving meaning and enjoyment in the process. A story is incomplete without both reader and writer.
What then do readers want? What constitutes a compelling story? How do men and women differ in their preferences? Where do readers find recommendations? How do readers share their book experiences?
ANNOUNCING A 2018 READER SURVEY designed to solicit input on these topics and others.
Please click here to take the survey and share the link https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/68HL6F2
with friends and family via email or your favorite social media. Robust participation across age groups, genders, and countries will make this year’s survey – the 4th – even more significant.
Those who take the survey will be able to sign up to receive a summary report when it becomes available.
M.K. (Mary) Tod writes historical fiction. Her latest novel, Time and Regret was published by Lake Union. Fellow authors Patricia Sands and Heather Burch helped design and plan the survey. Mary can be contacted on Facebook, Twitter and Goodreads or on her blog A Writer of History.
Many thanks for spreading the word, Mary Ann. With your help, we'll reach even more readers!
ReplyDeleteMy pleasure; I also took the survey this morning - for those readers on the fence because of time constraints - didn't take long to check the boxes. Looking forward to reading the results.
