Children are going to have quite a different set of expectations from a book than adult readers. If you’re following the Hero’s Journey true to form, your protagonist will end up back in the same location that they started from, but transformed by their experiences. In genre, for example, there are many people who don’t consider something a true romance book until it ends with a happily ever after (or at least a “happy for now”). However, writers must consider reader expectations - and whether their story is best served by meeting or subverting those expectations.Ī few things to consider when trying to determine reader expectations are: Art is subjective, after all, and every reader will like different things. Of course there’s no universally right or wrong endings. While the start of your story might convince people to read your book in the first place, the end is what will determine if they turn from a reader into a fan. If they are dissatisfied at the closing of the final chapter, they won’t likely read it again or share it with others. The ending has an enormous impact on how (and if) readers will remember your book in years to come. Six Types of Endings (and what they're used for)
