How To Improve Your Author Website
Learn the best practices for any author website with tips and tricks you can put to work immediately, plus more from Writer’s Digest!
Every professional author needs a website, but too often bad design choices and lack of focus prevent it from doing its job. Some have conflicting messages about who they are or what they write. A shocking number of published authors don’t include book covers anywhere on the homepage. And unpublished writers sometimes don’t know what to say about themselves except, “I’m looking for an agent.” Is there something more you should be doing?
Whether your website is one day old or 10 years old, you want to make sure the time and energy that you’ve put into your website will pay off with more opportunities for you and your writing. This two-hour live webinar will address best practices for any author website—whether you’re published or unpublished—with simple tips and tricks you can put to work immediately.
