Oct. 25: - General: Market Definition & Narrative Voice ֎

(1) Identify your story type from this list of story types   or define it with your own nomenclature.

Drama, adventure, action, bit of science fiction,

(2) Describe your target audience. Identify a demographic profile of your ideal reader (try using your character profile template!) Explain in detail what aspects of your novel will appeal to this particular audience and why. Please read this blog post to understand the importance of marketing, and why targeting "mass appeal" or "all readers" isn't good enough: "Building Your Brand" 

Despite the post, it is a mass appeal thing until you manage to get a specific group of readers. I think that it comes over time. This story might not be something that I keep one writing. It will come in time, or it won't.

(3) Write a synopsis of your novel using the same narrative voice you will use to tell the story.

A disgraced scientist figures out how to time travel. His young charge at children's home becomes like a daughter to him. The device allows her travel backwards and forwards in time. She was inspired by Robin Hood and her penchant for gold, to steal from the bad guys from long ago, then convert the gold in today's value. This is in order to fund a children's home that is better than the crap places she was in.
