Are you clear on who you're writing for?In this episode of The Purposeful Pen, we're diving into the essential process of identifying your reader. Discovering your audience isn't just about demographics—it's about finding the overlap between your unique story and the people who most need your message.

We’ll talk about:

* How your personal story can guide you toward your ideal reader

* Practical places to observe and engage with your potential audience

* Questions to help you picture your reader more clearly

* Why it’s okay if you don’t have it all figured out yet

* How writing itself can help you refine your message and audience

This isn’t about boxing yourself in—it’s about being intentional so your words can serve others more effectively.
