Every time something is written, it is intended for someone to read it. In order for the reader to understand what the writer is writing, the writer must first analyze the reader. Analyzing the reader will help the writer see how the reader feels and write so that the reader has a better understanding of the text. Here are some tips on how to analyze your reader:

· Understand the reader’s values and beliefs
You have to make sure that you don’t write with words or phrases that would offend the reader.

· Language use
You should always make sure you write with words that your reader understands without trouble.

· Reader’s interest
A writer should always analyze the reader’s interests so that it can be easier to write about things that connect to the reader.

· What does the reader want
When writing, one should be aware of what the reader wants to read.

Analyzing the reader is very important when writing so that whatever is written does not seem confusing to the reader and also to keep the reader connected to the text.

  1. This is a very good subject to write about. There has been many times when i have gone to read a book that is directed towards my intrests but i just do not connect with the author. It seems some authors just write what they want regardless if his target audience will agree with him or not. This is an important lesson for all who are intrested in a profession of writing.

  2. I think its good that u mentioned using language that your audience will understand. You never want to offend the reader by using words they don't understand this could cause them to think you are putting them down.

  3. This is a very good blog. I agree with the part, "what does the reader want?" Most the time when I am reading things, the author adds in so much details that are not necessary and I lose focus and stop paying attention.

  5. Very good job on your post. Next time, you should add a title to your post. You had a great ending with "Analyzing the reader is very important when writing so that whatever is written does not seem confusing to the reader and also to keep the reader connected to the text." There have been times when I read an article, or a book, and the author wanted to sound so smart that they put unnecessary words into there text which made there writing confusing, which made me not want to read on.
