Episode 55: Does Your Reader and Message Change Over Time?
Does your reader and message change over time? Can it be too narrow and specific? That’s the question we dive into this week.
I also talk about:
the difference between an x, y, z statement and a book positioning statement
why having too narrow of a message is problematic
how broadening your message a little can bring you freedom from always writing about a difficult or traumatic event
Here are links to the books and resources I mentioned in the episode:
Jordan Raynor books - The Sacredness of Secular Work, Redeeming your time
Emily P Freeman books - The Next Right Thing, How to Walk into a Room
