You know you've chosen a good book when you've finished one chapter, and can't wait to start the next.
How do you, as authors, ensure your readers will keep turning the pages? Lots of elements will come into play considering the genre you write in and the tropes you might be using, but these two elements are must-haves no matter what kind of book you're writing:
1) Compelling characters that your reader cares about
2) Moral to the story
Without these two things, readers will become bored quite quickly. Listen to this short ten-minute episode to learn:
three ways to create a character your readers will care about, and
what the moral of the story is, why it's important, and how to figure out what yours is!
Listen below for the two tips to keep readers interested!
