# Reader Experience Edit
## Core Lens
Treat reader experience as value received over time spent. Practical nonfiction does not keep readers engaged through suspense; it keeps them engaged by regularly delivering the outcome promised by the book.
Use this skill to diagnose and improve:
- Slow starts.
- Long stretches of theory before payoff.
- Low value-per-page.
- Sections whose value is unclear.
- Drafts that need to be coherent enough for beta readers, not polished enough for publication.
