Buy Children’s Books About Your Industry

I write adult romance novels
yet I often buy
children’s books for research.

Why?

Because children’s books
have illustrations,
they usually name parts
(parts of a space shuttle, a computer, etc)
and they assume
the reader knows nothing
about the topic.
They explain terminology
and how things work
in easy-to-understand language.

Children’s books also convey
what the average person
should know
about a topic.

That average person
could be my reader.

And they could be
your prospect/customer.

If there are children’s books
on your industry
(and I suspect there ARE),
read them.
