9 tips to catching a Readers Attention

Everyone reads for different reasons. Some people read because they want to expand their horizons, some read because they love the feeling of escape they get from reading a good book, and others are simply drawn to books like moths to an open flame – or, as one of our readers put it so eloquently: “It’s like my mind is in the library 24/7.” The truth is: anyone can read. Reading can be a magical experience for some and not at all appealing to others – but no matter your reason, you will catch someone else’s attention in the same way that you catch yours when you step into a bookstore or library and discover something new for yourself.

Make a habit of reading for pleasure

Reading for fun daily will help you catch your reader’s attention and create a sense of trust. Try reading a different genre each day and avoid getting bogged down with only one genre. Try out a few non-fiction books, try a short story each day, or even try reading a few graphic novels. Reading for fun will help you to relax and unwind, which is key to having a sound mind.

Have you written an awesome book review?

Give it a boost! If you’ve just finished reading a new release, or have just read a book you loved, why not write a book review? There are loads of writing websites that will allow you to publish your review and share it across social media – if you’ve written an awesome review, and given it a boost, it could really help you to get the attention of readers!

Don’t be afraid to ask for help when you’re struggling with your reading goals.

If you are struggling with the length of time it takes you to read a certain amount of books, or have even just one book that you find very challenging, don’t be afraid to ask for help. Perhaps you could put a message onto a public forum, like a popular blog or book review website, and see if you get any helpful responses. Or, if you are struggling to get a few books read, why not sign up to a book club, or join an online forum, where you might be able to find someone who can help you out. Reading for pleasure is, after all, supposed to be fun – and if it isn’t fun for you, it isn’t going to be fun for anyone else either!

Create real-life, compelling book characters based on real people.

Why not start to create a cast of characters who might be based on real people? At the very least, you could create book characters based on your close friends or family members, and see how this adds a great deal of depth to your novel. Why not try adding a single-parent in the family, or a character with a variety of different ethnic backgrounds, to create a more diverse cast of characters.

Use synonyms to give your words more meaning.

Synonyms are words that are similar to each other, but mean something slightly different (think: happiness, contentment, bliss). Instead of just using one word to convey the desired meaning, try using a synonym that gives the word more meaning, and readers will be drawn to the words more easily. For example, instead of using the word ‘happy’ over and over again, try using the synonym ‘blissful’ to give the word more meaning, and make your reader smile a little every time they read your work.

Help readers feel comfortable by using more active language.

Reading can be a very private experience for some, and for those people who are a little more nervous about reading, you could try reading more active language. For example, you can use more active language when you are interacting with a reader online, or when you are giving a book talk or introduction to your book club. You can also try reading with more energy and enthusiasm, instead of reading in a dull, monotonous way, and you can also try making sure that your language is more colorful and engaging.

Keep readers hooked by staying unpredictable and providing new content each day.

Reading is meant to be relaxing, but why not try to stay a little unpredictable in order to keep your readers on their toes? Make sure that you try to stay unpredictable in terms of what you read, the order that you read it in, and when you read it. If you are reading a book that is meant to be a little more challenging, make sure to put it away for a few days before picking it back up again, and read something easier. This will keep your readers on their toes and make reading a little more unpredictable than if you just read the same book over and over again.
