Notas do Editor
- * STORY- Readers like action—nonstop! Writing dominated by fast-moving and complex plots have story appeal. You’ll hear people describe these as “page-turners.” They race to turn the pages because they need to know ‘what happens next. In describing the writing, readers will usually talk about the events, about what happened. Story dominates, character development matters less than keeping things moving. Most writing for kids and teens is story driven. * CHARACTER- readers start describing the characters as well-developed, quirky, unique, compelling, etc. phrases such as well-developed, three-dimensional, they jump off the pages. It doesn’t mean that readers have to like the characters as people—they can be heroes or villains—but what you like are characters. Writing featuring characters whose thoughts and feelings are the focus of the story have character appeal. Some readers look for books that feature particular types of characters. The way in which the character experiences the story is more important than the mechanics of the story. * SETTING- Readers like places or time periods described in great detail, to the point where the place or time period itself becomes like a character. Writing dominated by place or time period have setting appeal. The setting may be familiar, and so readers have the pleasure of recognize a place or time period they know well. Or the setting may be unfamiliar, and so readers have the pleasure of exploring a new place or time period. Historical fiction and mysteries have setting appeal, as do minutely described imagined worlds of fantasy and science fiction. * LANGUAGE- Reading dominated by the style of the writing have language appeal. The writing reflects the author’s mastery of language, and it enriches the entire work, whether the author’s focus is on story, character, setting, or all three. The tone can be comic, thoughtful, lyrical, nostalgic, angry, etc. The language doesn’t have to be “literary,” although people will tell you if they are looking for that specifically. * FORMAT- when we’re doing readers advisory training in the library, we often talk about format in conjunction with audiobooks. Zines could definitely be considered as a unique format for people who like a highly visual and handmade aesthetic.
