11. PROJECT MINI LESSON
To whom is the magazine/newspaper being marketed? Consider audience If I’m reading a magazine for “top gods”, maybe my approach is sympathetic to a god who smites those who don’t listen. If I’m a “Ladies magazine” what type of story is interesting to my audience?

12. PROJECT MINI LESSON
How are you making me want to read? What’s your “hook” strategy? “Once upon a time…” isn’t it.
