Summary:
Have you ever picked up a book at 10pm and been so enthralled, the next thing you know, it’s 3am, and you’re approaching the last few pages?
If you have experienced this, then you know the exhilarating feeling of being totally in the author’s thrall and how rare it is to connect so deeply with a book that you simply cannot put it down. Never mind how you feel the next day. Any author who kept you up all night reading deserves to have you make that early morning walk of shame to the coffee maker.
But if you’re an author, or planning to be, what you really want is to have your reader pull an all-nighter for YOU.

Key takeaways:

- Why connecting with your reader is so important
- The science behind connecting through a book
- Four tips to develop a strong connection with your reader

- And more!
