I teach 18- to 21-year-olds - the 'Harry Potter' generation. They grew up as voracious readers, reading books in this exploding genre. But at some point, I would love for them to give Umberto Eco or A.S. Byatt a try. I hope 'A Discovery of Witches' will serve as a kind of stepping-stone.
Give people enough guidance to make the decisions you want them to make. Don't tell them what to do, but encourage them to do what is best.
My audience knows me, and I wear beautiful clothes as a badge of honor. They remember where I came from.
