Are you writing a screenplay?

Awesome! Gothic Zen applauds your vision and commitment, because we know it's an arduous journey.

But, before you write one more word, we have a quick question:

Have you considered who is your target audience?

People write for different reasons. And although it's healthy and rewarding to write for your own pleasure, imagine how gratifying it would be to write for an audience who appreciates your work.

In other words, if you want people to read your screenplay and connect with your vision, then you need to know who your target audience is and cater to their likes, wants, desires and psychological quirks.

Research is valuable here and you may need to :

• Google

• watch videos

• read books

• talk to specific types of people

in order to get a grasp of what connects with your target audience (as opposed to what you assume they connect with).

Write with your target audience in mind and your screenwriting will instantly improve. You'll also be using one of the key secrets cherished by professional screenwriters everywhere..
