Have you wondered why you need an author website? Maybe you have social media, and you think that’s enough of a platform. But you’re mistaken.

As an author, your website is the hub of your business. Every piece of information you put out, book signings, blog posts, release dates, not to mention reviews, interviews both print and audio/video—all of that information should live on your website. It’s crucial to the business side of writing.

In this webinar will cover:

  • Content – What your website needs, from pages to the information they hold
  • Platforms – The different platforms from budget to custom, what you can do yourself, and when or why you decide to hire a designer
  • Branding – Why you are your brand, not your books. Your aesthetic and what you want to convey to the world across platforms, especially your domain name
  • Five examples of author websites, what they have gotten right, and what they have gotten wrong

A live Q&A during the live webinar when Adanna will answer your author website questions.
