Part of me becomes the characters I'm writing about. I think readers feel like they are there, the way I am, as a result.

If you can think psychographically and not demographically, you can really target a lot more audiences.

I don't divide my reading into demographic categories, any more than I'd divide my friends into groups along ethnic or sexual lines. The thing I look for most is a sense of literary rawness - bareback fiction, if you will.

In a highly competitive newspaper market, every editor needs to appeal to female readers to boost their circulation.

My target audience is anyone who finds the world interesting and human behavior fascinating, terrible, inspiring, funny, and occasionally, mysterious.

I never think in terms of target audience. I try to write what makes me laugh, so I'm the target audience. I guess I just hope there's another person in America like me.

Don't write for who your reader is. Write for what your reader wants to be.

I don't write demographically. I don't write a song to reach these people or those people.

Continue to surprise those who would put you in a neat demographic. Be insistently curious.

I kind of just write what I like to write. I'm thankful that readers of different ages seem to connect to my stories. I don't consciously think about age demographics when I'm working on my comics.
