What is target audience for each book review? [Resolved]

[Courtney Lesnick]

This is probably a dumb question, but I cannot find the answer on this site. What is the target audience for my review? Someone interested in buying the book? That's the most obvious answer, and what I assume to be true, but I wasn't sure if some reviews are meant for the author? Or the publisher? I see some of these books seem to be pre-sale, and so was not sure if we are ever meant to give feedback in how books could be improved.

Hello. Target audiences include men, women, children, adults, teens, Christians, Muslims, etc. How the book could be improved depends on the negatives you find in it.

Hi there,

And thank you for reaching out. There are no dumb questions, it is better to ask when in doubt. I believe the authors and publishers are seeking a bit of both; feedback about their products, but also ways to sell them more. Sometimes authors seek for more private feedback; in that case they choose that the review not be published. However, there is no way for you to know that when you pick up a book for a review.

I hope this helps. Let me know if there's anything else I can do for you.

Thank you, and have a good day,
