How do I write a book that appeals to white women?
>>
make it as liberal as possible

I'm in a creative writing non-fiction class in SoCal.
80% of the class are white females, and whenever we free write for 10 minutes on a prompt, each girl decides to rant about how America is a cesspool of Islamophobic, Racist, Sexist assholes.

I can't stand it anymore.
We're leading a memoir called Citizen about fucking Trayvon Martin.
I'm so over this shit.

Women are natural narcissists so make sure the book is about absolutely nothing other than them and their boring mundane self-obsessed lives.
>>
Write about "women's bodies", but don't sexualize them. They're endlessly fascinated by their own bodies because society has conspired to intellectually ruin them from childhood. They seem to really have a thing for realism, "the texture of lived experience", shit like that. So read your Tolstoy if you want to write for white women. Also check out Anaïs Nin to understand how to deliver filth to them - you need to cloak it in this kind of swooning, philosophizing romance. That's all I got for now, kid. Good luck tapping the largest market segment out there.

Oh, and consider a feminine pseudonym.
>>
A tawdry romance about a vapid young teenager with absolutely zero useful skills in love with two sociopaths who abuse her both physically an emotionally.

But make sure all the characters in the book talk about how great the MC is, even as you go out of your way to make her as useless and vapid as possible
>>
Make the main character a white woman.
>>
Make your protagonist a woman from an Asian culture. Title it something like "The Samurai's Lover" or "The Rice Farmer's Daughter"

Alternatively, write about a taboo romance in an Amish community.

YA and >>8584750
Make main female narratrix
Make her bland
Make her love interest seem distant but intense (violent is even okay, gangbanger with a heart of gold sells well not just vampire)
Make narratrix mad at love interest but also self for believing gangbanger could have heart of gold
Make gangbanger apologise for whatever shit narratrix is butthurt about
Make narratrix still mad
Make gangbanger get shot
Make narratrix forgive him but with reservations and only because he got shot *twist alert* saving an animal shelter, young child, male [DO NOT LET HIM SAVE A FEMALE NOT EVEN AN OLD LADY]
[You can make it his mother or sister for the next step]
Make narratrix mad again at him but less so
[You can reveal it was just his mom or sister that he chose to save not some other pussy]
Make gangbanger propose
Make cliffhanger ending which implies you need to buy the second book to know what the wedding was like and then don't make them married until the third book when she wants to have a kid but it's also with someone else
Congrats, you've just written Twilight, Bridget Jones' Diary, and probably more

>>
>>8584953

that's actually fine, names like "Nicholas Sparks" seem destined to generate sales. it's probably best not to pretend to be a woman, in case you get outed. Just so you know, if you take this seriously it is literally the easiest/biggest market in publishing. remember that article by (or about?) that black author who felt like he had to cater his work towards white women to get recognized?

Don't listen to most of these retarded anons, don't write caricatures.
>>

What in the FUG you just described my novel
>>
>>8584989
that was a facebook post (unless he expanded it into an essay) by the writer of a brief history of seven killings, he was commenting on a post called on pandering that was going around last year
women are the biggest market for both genre (ie romance, thrillers, mysteries) and literary fiction and in the us white women make up the largest single racial group
I don't know if there's a single rule to follow or whatever, maybe don't be outright misogynistic (I mean, in general don't) if you're a guy, Gillian Fylnn is pretty woman hating though so idk (she also writes really well about aspects of being a woman/sexism like the whole cool girl speech).

nah, she just realizes the truth: women have just as much capacity for evil as men
>>
>>8585093
I don't object to that, its all the weird false-rape accusations, creepy stuff about abusing children, hating on sex workers/certain types of other young women. She's a very good writer, but she can't help herself with some shit.

Depends on what type of woman. But if you're looking for quantity YA is the obvious answer.
>>

>Gillian Fylnn is pretty woman hating though so idk (she also writes really well about aspects of being a woman/sexism like the whole cool girl speech).
that's just standard girl bitching about girls. her cool girl does exist, but the only girl she pisses off is a fellow cool girl/sociopath because she's poaching her manmeat territory (even if she has no chance at any of those chads) . most of the girls who like chilli dogs just like chilli dogs. the girls who freak out another girl has men friends are /r9k/ trapped in a female body.

it's about as well written as REEEE but a good test to see if your girl's a narcissist or psychopath. like Harry Potter is a good test of if your girl's emotionally retarded, but still isn't well written. that said, you don't have to write well to secure the market, and if you want to go for the psychobitches vote, feel free to bitch about pretty women with too many male friends. psychobitches love that shit.

All books appeal to white women, we read more than all other demographics combined. Well except maybe asian women

Any and all erotica

Also just as a side note, we read more literary fiction as well.

>>8584736
John Green does is exceptionally well.

/lit/ hates him, but you need to read his work and understand the techniques he uses in character and dialogue if you are ever going to sell.

90% of editors are white, middle class women, and you have to sell to them first.
>>
>>8585833
There are types of books that appeal more to women, young women in particular. Just like there are books that appeal more to men and young men in particular. Power fantasies for once are always a safe bet and those are usually different for men and women.

Dedicated /lit/ fags obviously read everything.

sure, but women read so overwhelmingly more that even things that are made for masculine readers are read more by women. Like Hemmingway
>>
Be sure to insert some liberal politics. It's not a good female novel unless the main character espouses the virtues of abortion or unless there's a scene where the atheist protagonist educations the bigoted Christian antagonist on what the bible really says.

hemmingway isn't a current blockbuster tho. if you want to make an overnight sensation, you'd need to re-write hemmingway with a female protag who goes to spain to eat cheese after her bf dumped her for cheating.
actually, that could really work.

You understand a class being mostly white women doesn't then mean the class represents white women in general? It just means you do feminine shit

That could be alienating, rather she totally could have lots of sex if she wanted with really hot and rich dudes (since most women are hetero).

a woman loves to think that she is not docile, while dreaming of being in full trust of a captivating chad who takes her without permissions so that, during the night, while he sleeps, she can dream of saving the destitute after the chad has fucked her properly for the first time in her life of going from lovers to lovers, craving a eclectic panorama of precious moments...

Lol. I think I've met like 2 women in my life that have actually finished War and Peace. Women may like that kind of writing style but there isnt nearly enough sex and its far too long...

Actually, now that I am thinking about it. I wonder what the percentage of readership is regarding sex. It has to be vast majority male.
>>
>>8585833
That's because women are consumers and men are producers. Men write more books than women.
>>
>>8584750
>boring mundane self-obsessed
You just described/lit/
>>
>>8586844
How many men have you met that have finished War and Peace? And not that there would be any reliable way to tell, but I doubt it's largely men or even slightly men who mostly have finished it. Men don't read fiction.
>>
>>8586860
>That's because women are consumers and men are delusional narcissists. Men write more books* than women bc they can't be fucked to actually read and are insane enough to think the world cares about their mediocre work.

*idk about that, but they are published more, and if you think that's bc of some inherent trait that men have and women and don't, not bc of institutional sexism, then you're insane

everyone read a room of one's own, it's very short you lazy sods

Women write meaningless garbage like romance, sci-fi, fantasy, etc. The sci-fi ghetto exists for a reason and it is absolutely right for it to exist.

Men meanwhile write works that change the world, such as philosophy and history.

This, these sexist need to publish more women's work. Men are just so delusional, I can't even. If they gave women more chances, we would have much more extraordinary books filled with creativity that only a women can muster. Once we give women the opportunity, you would see an increase of quality in every genre.
