Author Web Page


I always recommend that authors have their own web pages create prior to publishing their work. You want to start a buzz about your book before it's even available. Have people anticipating your book! 
Things to have on your web page:
-Make sure you have a bio about yourself. People love to read a blurb about the author, it's the readers way to connect.
-Include links to where your work can be purchased. Make it easy for consumers to find your work!
-Include ALL of your books!
-If you have a blog, which I also recommend, make sure it is accessible on your site.
-Include links to all your social media sites i.e. facebook, twitter, pinterest etc. Make it easy for people to find you! 
-Have a section dedicated to reviews. I love reading reviews for consumers! It is always such a rush when you read the first review from someone you don't know. Let's face it, the first couple reviews are from family and friends. When you read a review that is from someone you don't know, who is located on the other side of the country, you feel so overwhelmed with joy! Why not share those reviews with others? Let's me honest, reviews sell a book! If I'm looking to buy a new book, it is usually one that was recommended or one I read great reviews about!
