Write Them In

Readers want to be part of an adventure, to travel on a journey of mind and emotion. They long to raise a gleaming sword with Samwise Gamgee against Shelob the spider, to ride with Lucy on Aslan's back and feel his silky mane, or to wield a lightsaber in fierce combat on a planet in a galaxy far, far away.

Writers hope to fulfill that literary longing, to immerse readers in a story they won't want to leave. Once they finally resurface in their real worlds, they'll be eager to return to ours, whether through the same story or others we have written. And they will be sure to tell friends about their journeys and invite new readers to enter our fascinating worlds.
