KNOW YOUR PUBLICATION QUESTIONS // Unit 3 schedule: Part 1

1. Fairy tales, science fiction, mystery, children’s stories, study guides, and much more.

1. I believe their audience mainly consists of children, mainly due to the genres they showcase at the forefront of their catalog. Such as fairy tales, science fiction, mystery, children’s stories, etc.

1. The pieces can typically be read in 5-10 minutes.

1. The tone, depending on the story, is usually either casual, or enthusiastic, the tone of a story is never too serious.

1. Formal diction is either casually or enthusiastically delivered to the reader trying to figure out more of the genre they’re visiting.

1. When they cite evidence, they insert images found on the sources website to grant more insight. Additionally, they highlight they italicize the sources, the quotes found in said source, and information the source contains.     

1. The website isn’t all black and white. Once you open the website, you’ll notice the background is in beige. Random images of popular genre’s on its website are posted, with the image of it’s genre as well to grab the readers attention. Lastly, as you scroll down the homepage, you’ll notice that most of the genre’s that are in the websites catalog are scattered throughout the homepage. Only the most popular genres are found on its homepage.

1. This publication forum would be a marvelous place to reach my intended audience, due to the fact that my short story is a fictional narrative about the life of the species closely related to the Locc ness monster. Since science fiction is a genre in this forum’s website, this is perfect for the direction I want to go in. The audience seems like it’s mainly American children and that’s great for me because that’s the demographic I want to reach out to the most. This website is ideal for my story.

Part 2:

• I need to find a mentor text still
