Is the best way of supporting writers to find them an audience?

The reading experience
• The reader-centred approach sells the reading experience and what it can do for you, rather than selling individual books or writers.
• This builds the audience for literature by moving readers beyond brand loyalty to individual writers, developing confidence and interest in trying something new.
• Could this work for film?

Make audiences visible
• Collect comments, opinions, recommendations
• Use real people and their own words
• Show different types of people who watch
• Show different types of films people watch
• Example: guess who’s watching what

Reader-centred promotion in Danish libraries – what do men read? Could it be watch?

15,000 reading groups in UK libraries – could we have viewing groups too?
•Reading groups start from the reading experience not the text
•Each participant is expert in their own reading experience. This gives equality across different preferences, knowledge and appetites
•It’s a social event and not a study class

Ideas to get going
• Where do you watch films?• What do you watch when you’re ill?• Display 10 DVD covers – which appeal to you
and which don’t?• Choose a treat, a challenge and a film you
wouldn’t watch even if you were paid to• Which character in a film did you first fall in love
with?• … and lots more

Writing about film
• Go for the experience as well as the content or story:
- does your comment tell me how this film feels to watch?
- is your comment useful to help people as they start on the viewing journey?
• Is the voice personal?• Write as you speak – use everyday language• Are you judging quality or describing flavour?
