Their socials. Do they have one? How do they interact with people there? Are they confrontational, controversial, or very negative in their posts? Or are there post that better define what they're looking for? If they're always posting hot take or rage baiting opinions they might not match my vibe.

Are you writing your novel in omniscient POV (the "god like" POV)? Though all-knowing, an omniscient narrator need not be neutral. It will often make a stronger impression on the reader if they’re opinionated. Insight from @heathergarbo.bsky.social.

Omniscient POV might be resurging, thanks to some recent bestsellers. To use it well, remember three C’s: clarity, consistency, and control.

On a grassy green hill beneath a starry night sky, the caterpillar nibbles on a tree while the mantis and the firefly work on their stories. The mantis lays in the grass writing in her journal with a fountain pen and her very tall stack of papers beside her. The firefly sits in the branches of the tree with a laptop. The firefly’s butt is glowing brightly so the mantis can see to write.
