Steinbeck on Marketing

Nearly finished with Waiting for Your Cat to Bark. Eisenberg(s) cite John Steinbeck:
Your audience is one single reader. I have found that sometimes, it helps to pick out that one person--a real person you know, or an imagined one--and write to that one.1

Quick reference to one of my previous posts: When Is This Ever Going to Help Me? Foundational, essential marketing principle in classic American Literature? There you have it. As I've said before: hire an English teacher.
