I have a stream of people who will gravitate to my book, but for the sake of this space, let me just say I received great help from Bruce Springsteen as it relates to defining a significant portion of my target audience.

In my entire neighborhood alone, there are a great number of children. They are all to be treasured as human beings, to be sure. But there are two little kids who are a peculiar treasure to me, more than any of those other beautiful children could hope to be.

You Are Smarter Than That: why my book has no bullet points

Everything you read today about blogging, writing, creating, and marketing indicates the need to make it easier to read. You are supposed to make it easy to scroll your way through and get to 5 easy steps, 7 reasons why, or some other form of bulleted lists.
