In this episode of Don’t Write That Book, Mike and AJ break down the difference between an avatar and an ideal reader, and why the distinction matters. They share how connecting to the hearts and minds of that reader is the secret sauce to their books’ success, and guide the listener into the steps needed to identify who their ideal reader is, and why it’s often an earlier version of themselves.
