I found this really helpful site on target audience and it helps you to decide what your target audience is and how to make a profile for them; http://www.canadianfilmmaker.com/index2.php?option=com_content&do_pdf=1&id=14
My genre is period drama set in the 1950's, aimed mainly at teenage girls between the age of 12 to 17. The book is about a 15 yr old girl, but is tastefully written and so will amuse and educate younger girls as well. I think, because of the time period and the subject, boys aren't the main target audience here. I did a bit of asking around, and in class asked a few of my peers what they thought of the idea, they all seemed intrigued and most of the girls thought the idea a good one. My sister.. who has also read the book, gave me a few ideas of what she thought the characters were like and how she envisioned them when she read the book, which was most helpful as I did want another opinion, from someone who had read the book themselves.
