Audience and Genre

In this blog post I will be analyzing what groups of people would most be interested in my controversy.

Group 1: students in  my own field
Other creative writing majors would most likely be interested in learning more about how audiobooks are shaping reading in the twenty-first century. Especially since we are learning how to write and what makes a good writer, all of that could eventually vanish if people suddenly no longer cared for printed books. Obviously, you would still need to write in order to produce audiobooks but the demand may be different.

Places of publication:
1. Research journal: This is where most students will turn if they are looking for more serious information concerning the topic and would like a reliable source. Usually these type of pieces are very formal and dense but provide a great deal of information that is worth reading about.

2. Academic database: This is a great place to go to find scholarly sources from a wide array of different people. This is especially important for Creative Writing majors because it is useful to see how other people are writing and what techniques they are using in order to gain insightful information.

Group 2: avid audiobook listeners
Another group of people that would be most interested in this topic would be people that have been listening to audiobooks frequently and are exploring more ways to discover new, interesting audiobooks. They might also be interested in learning the effects that audiobooks have on reading in general.

Places of publication:
1. Magazine: These types of people may not be interested in intense scholarly articles and will most likely try to find a more leisurely form of learning more about audiobooks.

2. Blog posts: These are very easy to read and are more informal which will most likely draw these types of readers in. While they might not be as credible they are usually entertaining to read.
