Week 2 - Purpose, Audience, Genre - Task #3 part #2

I have chosen to follow realjohngreen on twitter. He is one of my favorite authors and just released his sophomore book, Paper Towns. His first book was An Abundance of Katherines. Since I hope to eventually work in the publishing industry with YA fiction authors, I decided it would be interesting to peak more into their world.

I then proceed to look up John Green's blog... http://www.sparksflyup.com/weblog.php. This blog is an outlet for John to vent and rant on whatever he so fancies that day. It's also a fun way to get to know a little bit more about the authors personality.

The intended audience is obviously his current fans/readers. Since he writes YA fiction it is logical to assume that he also is gearing his blog to that age group. people of similar age and with similar interests as himself (i.e. Book Nerds).

He uses witty language and humorous videos and discussions that leave his readers wanting more.
