Mindful Writing, written by Brian Jackson, is an intriguing book that teaches its readers how to write. Oftentimes I find reading about writing a chore; however, in his book, Jackson introduces writing in an interesting manner. Throughout its pages, Jackson constantly emphasizes the importance of truly understanding who your audience is. I have read several other books on how to write well, and none of them conveyed this message as strongly as Mindful Writing does.
Understanding who the audience is directs the path a writer's message will take. If an audience is not understood, then it is hard to convey a message that will influence the way in which they think.This book has helped me realize that before writing, understand the audience, and then shaping your message will come much more easily.
