I’m not sure where I first read about How To Do Things or why I decided to buy it, but I saw it sitting in my “Downloads” folder when I was on a plane without WiFi and opened it up. It was a pretty short, pretty simple self help booklet, but it made an impact on me.

Brian: And I’m Brian Hall. And today we’re talking about reader profile, the person or people for whom you are writing, which is a really powerful concept to spend some time on, preferably before you start writing, at least if it’s a big project.
