This is such a lovely and straightforward guide to creating a reader persona! I appreciate the suggestion to start with yourself as the ideal reader and “test out” writing to different personas… though I definitely still find it hard to tell what resonates! (Sometimes it seems like posts with similar content/ style perform wildly differently based on the day).

There's definitely an art to trying to intentionally understand and think about what readers need! It overlaps a lot, I've found, with finding a new layer of courage and "owning" what is distinct about my life — and letting that show up in my writing, too. Thank you for reading it and sharing your experience!! This means so much to me. ☀️

Thank you for the Reader Personas Blueprint. I have been lurking/writing on Substack this last year and finally became a paid subscriber yesterday. I went through the Blueprint yesterday and read the Q & A just now and am so happy to feel at home. The writer questions reflect some of my own, and your responses are at a depth I really appreciate.
