The Visibility Spectrum: How Your Reader Meets Your Idea

The Visibility Spectrum: How Your Reader Meets Your Idea15 sept.19 min

Welcome back to B is for Book Coach. Today, we’re making space for empathy.

Some of the best concepts and tools I’ve ever learned for writing weren’t for writing at all. They were for education, decision-making, personal growth, and the process of change.

So when someone asks me a question about a “memoir” or a “business book,” I can’t really answer.

Genre alone doesn’t tell us enough about what the book is actually meant to do.

Ultimately, the Visibility Spectrum is an empathy tool, giving serious consideration to both the author and reader’s needs in everything we create.

Stage 1: ROY Meets Us Where We Are

Stage 2: The Grues Show Us Who the Author Is

Stage 3: The Murky Violets Show Us What Can Be

Enjoying this space? It takes all of us to create it together! When you become a one-time or ongoing Momentum Partner, two things happen.

First, you get to join a small but growing group of folks who pop in for Office Hours twice a month to sort out their content and travel this journey together.

Second, you add to the Mutual Momentum fund, which helps to bring deeper development support to authors who need more than just space to get started.

You can create a one-time boost of Momentum or subscribe to keep the forward movement going for us all.
