Audience
For my actual book, my aimed at reading audience is teen to young adult for the book.
Particularly, I want young people who are interested in literature and/or enjoy the fantasy genre.
My project audience is the three publishers I am sending the book out to and the twenty or more
Global High School students I will compile from the Creative Writing Club and student body.
Feedback & Measuring of Success
To measure the success of my project, I will send my manuscript to at least three
publishers. If the publishers respond to me before the Capstone presentations at the end of the
year, I will include that in my feedback. However, I will not hinge my project on this since there
is a chance I may not receive a response. Another measure of success I will be using is to have
the twenty or more students from the Waxahachie Global High Creative Writing Club and
student body read the first three or so chapters of my book. After they have finished reading, I
will have them complete a survey, so I can properly determine what affect my book had on them.

I will relate the process of writing my book to the PLTW Engineering Design Process by:
defining my story in prewriting, generating story ideas, developing my story while I draft it,
constructing my manuscript and revising it, evaluating and editing my book, and presenting it to
my audience and publishing it. It is not difficult to relate it to the PLTW Engineering Design
Process to the Writing Process. It may be an artistic form of expression, but it is an expression
that can turn into a product.
