A Note to the Publisher...

My blog post this week will explore the appeal of my final piece to both the public and publishers. I have completed this research by examining recently published creative non-fiction works, and researching best sellers.

The human species are intrusive by nature, and through no fault of our own. The media thrives upon this dependable of aspect, and feeds us reality television, soap operas, and fly on the wall documentaries. As a species, we have an undisputable urge to know what’s happening around us. I believe that it is this insatiable thirst for personal knowledge that will create an audience for my piece.

Via my research of recently published works of creative non-fiction, I can see that true-stories about real people and life-changing events are currently reaching the top of creative non-fiction ratings and sales lists. Personally, the feedback I have received when explaining my idea to people off-course has also been largely positive. 

On a personal note, regardless to whether or not the story would attract interest of readers and publishers, I feel like the research that went into writing the piece, and the story as an entirety, was worth both my time and my attention. I hope I can convincingly convey to my readers how important this story is to every person out there who has ever experienced abuse. And help those suffering to know that things do get better. You just have to get out.
