The Writing Trinity: Genre, Purpose, and Audience

Genre: pronounced: john-ruh Fancy word for TYPE CLASSIFICATION SUB-CATEGORY

“Have you two met?” Most likely... Maybe in your car when you chose a radio station to listen to? Maybe at a video rental store when you decided which movie to rent?

Writing Genres “Genre” also applies to different kinds or categories of writing. You’ve written two this semester: ESSAY You’ve also written in other genres too: Research proposal, cover letter, artist statement, and more!

Yah, so? Why divide things up into categories? Each genre has a different set of expectations and conventions.

What do you think of when you hear these genres: Horror movie? Emo music? Poetry?

Purpose The purpose of a horror movie is different than the purpose of a chick flick. Similarly, writing in a different genre forces you to consider genre conventions and to think deeply about WHY your chosen genre supports your content. (Although I think a harmonica in a techno song could be interesting...)

Audience We’re all looking for a little recognition, right? Audience is who you are writing for (rather real or imaginary): consider your audience when choosing a genre and purpose. For example, would the governor be the ideal audience for your poem? (Try a business letter instead.)

All in all... Consider what genre will be best for your message Think about your purpose and how your genre choices support your ideas Determine your audience and appeal to their expectations and needs (Are you ready to brainstorm some ideas?)
