“Unveiling the Unseen: Teresa Wong Explores the Extraordinary Depths of Everyday Life in Her Graphic Memoir”
LL: I love that, and I love the awareness of who your ideal reader is and who you’re writing for. I know that a lot of times emerging writers aren’t clear on that, right? Like, ‘my book is for everybody who likes books!’ which is not really the truth. And so I feel like the more you can dial in on who your target audience is, at the very beginning, the stronger the work is.
TW: I kind of see it as concentric circles too. I’m hoping the widest audience possible will get something out of this book, whether they understand everything in it or not, whether they identify with my experiences or not. But then, as you move in the circles, people will experience the book in different ways. You don’t want to water down the stuff for the inner circle, either. Some people are going to get it and vibe with it right away, and some people aren’t, and that’s okay too. We’re not writing for everyone.
