Reader Connection
One of the best ways to increase sales of your books is to build a following. You want to create a connection to your readers, let them get to you know you as an author or the characters in your books.
New Release & Upcoming Events
When you have a list of faithful readers, you can alert then to new releases and upcoming events. Upload audio and previews of your books. You can post works in progress and get your readers excited about your next book.
Advanced Reader Copy
Creating an Advanced Reader Copy group can be so important when launching your next book.
What’s Included
The Author Starter Package is a 3 page WordPress website. Your site will be built using a customized Premium Theme built on the Genesis framework. The structure of your site will depend on the number of books you have and your intended focus. Some authors focus on the author themselves, others want to focus on their characters.
