In Andrea Lunsford’s article, “Writing Addresses, Invokes, and or Creates Audiences” the main idea is considering and understanding your readers to write effectively. She talks about highlighting the dynamic relationship between a reader and writer by communicating with, or imagining the audience of your writing. Your audiences can always be different, and you should write in a way to meet their expectations, and needs. Imagining your audience helps to understand who we are writing to and how to convey the information correctly for a particular audience. Knowing how to adjust the style and content for different readers can make them effectively write.
My past writing experiences have not informed me with an audience. We were always told to just write about the topic we were given and to include citations and evidence to support our topic. The most useful instruction to me is thinking about the information from the reader’s point of view to create a more engaging writing that will keep the reader’s focus.
