Authors! Considered this might qualify for a read. Opinions?
https://justpublishingadvice.com/livingwriter-review/Greetings Free Spirits, this has a chance to be good.
LivingWriter makes book writing software easy to use.
You don’t need to download and install any software. All you need to do is open your account and start writing within a few minutes.
The problem with many book writing apps and programs is that it takes a lot of time to learn how to use them.
With Living Writer, there is nothing you need to learn. It is an online application and the interface is clean and super easy to use. But you get all the tools you will ever need to write a book.
Living Writer review
I rarely write full reviews for individual writing programs. There are so many premium and free writing apps available now.
But this program is different, so it is worth taking a closer look at it.
Why is Living Writer different?
It is because the developers of this program seem to truly understand the writing process and what writers need to get the job done.
There is no complexity, but it is still loaded with all the writing tools and features an author of fiction or nonfiction needs.
To get started, the first screen you see gives you a few options to choose from to start your story.
You can simply start with a new blank story, select a pre-loaded template, or import your existing text in doc or docx Word format.
Once you make your selection, you are then in the main editor screen.
The editor screen
You don’t have to jump from one part of the program to another. Everything you need to write your book is located on this one screen.
In the left pane, you have all your stories, chapters, and story elements. These include character profiles, settings, objects and you can also add your own custom elements.
The text editor in the center pane is clear and easy to use.
If you are familiar with Microsoft Word, Google Docs, or any other word processor, you will have no trouble at all in using the menus.
The right side pane is where you can edit details and notes about your chapters, characters, and events.
But you can hide it at any time to avoid distractions.
From this main screen, you can drag and drop chapters or outlines, add new elements, or view your boards.
From the boards, you can edit your notes for every element you have added.
One other nice touch is one click to dark mode for those who prefer it.
You can add images, and if you don’t like purple, you can change the color of your elements.
Other very useful features
One feature you won’t see is a save button.
It is because you never need to perform a save. Every word you type or any changes you make to your elements and objects are auto-saved.
You never have to worry about losing a single word of your work.
On top of that, you can also view a version history for all of your sessions. You can revert, copy, rename or delete any of your versions.
Two other features are standout.
The first is autocomplete for character names or objects. It is extremely useful to make sure your spelling is consistent.
The other is that the program works with both the free and premium versions of the Grammarly editing tool. All you need is the browser extension.
You can see both in action in the image below. The character name autocomplete and the familiar red Grammarly icon, as well as one-click inline corrections
These two features make writing much easier and more accurate.
There is another terrific feature.
You won’t need to use this until you finish writing the final draft of your book, but the export options available are excellent.
You can export to Word or PDF.
You can export the entire story in a single document or individual parts of your story. This is great if you are sending a chapter or two off to your editor.
However, there is another export option that is really clever.
You can export to a selection of twelve book sizes ready for publishing on Amazon.
If you have used other programs such as Scrivener or yWriter, you will find all of the familiar functions, tools, and more.
But with Living Writer, there is no learning curve. You don’t need to watch long training videos or read how-to guides.
It is an extremely intuitive program with all the tools an author could need for long-form writing projects.
Features I would like to have
While it is an excellent program, there are a couple of features that I think could make it better.
One is a full distraction-free writing mode. It is not possible to hide the left sidebar, which is not really needed when writing.
The other is that there is no view option in the main menu.
My eyes are not as good as they used to be, so being able to zoom the text a little would make life easier for me. However, I overcame this little problem for my eyes by increasing the font size.
If you like to write on the run, there is no mobile app as yet. But it is under development, so it may be available in the near future.
The pros and cons of Living Writer
What I like about it.
-
- Auto-save.
- Easy drag and drop organization of chapters and elements in the left sidebar.
- Smart text autocomplete as you type.
- Grammarly integration.
- Quick view and editing of notes and descriptions in the right sidebar, and that you can hide it.
- The easy import tool.
- The five ready to go story templates.
- Simple sharing of chapters or your complete story.
- Full version history.
- Ability to export to Amazon manuscript templates.
On the negative side.
-
- No full distraction-free writing mode.
- No mobile app.
- Lack of view options.
- It is not suited for script and screenwriting.
Price options
There is a 30-day free trial, which is ample time to decide if the program is right for your writing needs.
You then have two subscription options.
You can pay month to month at $9.99. If you pay annually, the cost reduces to $8.00 per month.
If you decide to end your subscription, you will still have access to your work for one year. It is a great option if you only want to use the program to write one book.
Summary
There is a lot to like about Living Writer.
For me, it has all the tools and functions I need to write.
But with some of the features in development including split-screen viewing, a mobile app, and writing achievements, it can only improve.
The biggest plus is that it is so easy to use. Unlike other programs, you don’t need to waste any time at all learning how to use it.
If you are a new author, you can get straight down to work and start writing your book.
I have to say I would give this program a solid 9 out of 10, and think it is well worth taking for a road test.
Was I on target?
You can thank me later.
Readers! Figured that this just might justify a good read. Opinions?
https://www.yourwriterplatform.com/writer-platform-fiction-author/Yo Budding Writers, this could possibly be good.
I had the opportunity (and the pleasure) of working with fiction author, Abby Arthur, a few months ago. During our one-on-one session, we worked on defining her author brand, identifying her ideal audience, and developing her online presence (building her author website, email list, and network). We uncovered some specific promotional campaigns that would entice her readers and help her meet her objectives. In this post, Abby is sharing the steps she’s taken and her results (so far), so you too can learn how to grow your audience and writer platform.
Are you an author trying to grow your mailing list and fan base?
Are you lost at what to do?
I was right there with you. And though I’m not done with my marketing mission for the year, I’ve made some steps towards building my fan base that I’m sure can help and encourage you.
But first, who am I?
I’m Abby Arthur. I write young adult fantasy in a fascinating modern world full of magic and adventure for teens who want an escape from reality.
For the last twenty years, writing has been a passion and way of life for me. I can’t count how many novels I’ve written while I’ve learned to perfect my craft (not all are great, I promise).
I used a vanity press to publish my first book at 16, and I learned the hard way to never do that again. I have now written a number of books I hope to traditionally publish, but while I wait for my literary agent to claim me, I’m focusing on growing my fan base.
This brings me to the major topic of today. What am I doing to get fans (that you can do too)? And what are the results?
What I’m Doing
First and foremost, I’m learning from people who have gone before me so I can accelerate my results.
1 // I’ve set up a coaching call with Kimberley here at Your Writer Platform.
2 // I signed up for Nick Stevenson’s Your First 10k Readers program.
3 // I listened to “Building a StoryBrand” by Donald Miller from Audible.
4 // I also listened to “Marketing Made Simple” by Donald Miller, also from Audible.
Because of these sources, I have a strong foundation to work with to achieve the following goals for this year:
What Are the Results?
Currently, I’ve had time to update my website, create my lead magnet, and implement the giveaway.
I learned the starting steps and direction for this process from Kim at Your Writer Platform, and I learned how to implement the steps through Nick Stephenson’s Your First 10k Reader course.
How I Got My Direction
My first step to start the whole process was talking with Kim here at Your Writer Platform.
That one-on-one coaching call with her was a whirlwind of information I needed to hear. I knew I needed fans. I knew I needed a brand. And I thought I knew who my target audience was, but she took it deeper.
Talking with Kim broke down everything about my author platform into small, precise steps.
Even Kim’s direction about color coordinating my brand was something I hadn’t thought of until I met her.
She also helped me put into perspective how I wouldn’t gain all my fans in one week. Building a platform takes time.
I also realized I couldn’t wait any longer. Every day that passed, I was missing out on the opportunity to get the fans I wanted. Kim helped me get direction and set my butt in gear to do the work.
// 1 // The Website
For the website, I used Nick’s “Author Cats” theme to make my site very author and book friendly.
Then, with the help of “Building a StoryBrand”, I came up with reader-oriented content to make readers interested in my work.
It took me a week to listen to the book. After every chapter, I did exactly what Donald Miller said, and that helped me come up with great content.
Note* [You can see how it all looks on my site www.abbyarthur.com if you want a reference to help with your own site. References are a great help when you’re trying to design your site.]
// 2 // The Lead Magnet
For the lead magnet, I wrote a Novella that ties right into my fantasy stories. I have a bunch of different series that take place in the same world, so I chose one to make a short prequel to.
I hired Natasha Makenzie to design the cover. I found her on www.Reedsy.com*. After pitching my cover idea to 5 artists, she was the one who fit my budget and vision the best.
I had a clear idea for what I wanted in a cover, but I told her to come up with the fonts and color schemes. I also told her I’d be using those colors and fonts as my brand theme.
IMPORTANT: I asked my cover designer to send me the cover without text. She also gave me the separate parts (title, photo, and cover without the characters) so I could use them as background images on my site and on social media.
My designer cost me about $550 US dollars, and the results were 100% worth it. See for yourself below:
// 3 // The Giveaway
For the giveaway, I chose to give away a KindleFire7 with 5 bestselling Young Adult fantasy eBooks. As a bonus to everyone who signed up, I gave away my lead magnet (Twins of Shadow).
Here’s the wording I used in the small info section of my giveaway page. You can do something like it:
BONUS: EVERY ENTRANT WILL RECEIVE A FREE COPY OF TWINS OF SHADOW: AN UNDER THE DRAGON’S SPELL STORY by Abby Arthur.
The winner of the Kindle Fire 7 will be contacted via email – so keep your eyes open for a confirmation email from Abby Arthur. Good Luck!
// 4 // The Free Book
The link to the free book was posted as a link in the welcome email the entrants received. In this email, I informed them that by clicking that link, I would add them to my mailing list.
I also told the entrants if they didn’t click the link, I’d be removing them from my mailing list. (This cut back HUGELY on the unsubscribe count. If too many people unsubscribe, you get flagged as a spammer and this causes problems with your email sending service.)
// 5 // The Ads
I made this ad below for the giveaway easily in Microsoft Word, and I’ll list the simple steps to make your own.
1 // Find the photos on amazon (where you’re buying the eBook from).
2 // Paste them into Word
3 // Organize them how you want.
4 // Copy them
5 // Re-paste them into Word as a “special paste” (turning them into a PNG file)
6 // Save it to your computer as a photo
Note* Copyright is sometimes difficult to navigate, and I’m not qualified to guide you in whether using the photo of another author’s book you’re giving away is strictly legal or not.
This quote from Tara at The Librarian Who Doesn’t say SHH! blog may prove useful:
Use thumbnail images (150 pixels). These small images are generally considered fair game for artwork and photography, so a book cover in this size should be legal under copyright law based on precedence set in court cases.
You can read more on her post on the topic here: Book Cover Images and Copyright.
// 6 // How I advertised
Nick, from Your First 10K Readers, advises using the King Sumo plugin, so I bought that for my website and followed the setup instructions from the company.
I chose to run the giveaway for 3 weeks, and I advertised the giveaway on GiveawayFrenzy.com. I bought the $90 package and they promoted the giveaway on over 100 sites.
It was fun to watch all those emails come into my MailChimp, but I was also nervous the whole month since I wasn’t sure how many people would click my link and stick around.
Some things I did to increase clicks:
- Sent an email 48 hrs before the giveaway ended.
- Told entrants the winner would be announced soon.
- Offered “Twins of Shadow” download link again with bonuses (see image below).
- Bonuses were “for a limited time” with instructions on the download page.
- Bonuses were available on a password protected part of my site, and the password was the last 3 words of “Twins of Shadow”.
NOTE* I made all of the bonus content on Canva. The books (‘Songs That Inspired Twins of Shadow’ and ‘My Top YA Fantasy Must-Reads and Why’) ended up being Canva share links because they had YouTube videos in them, and I couldn’t download them as a PDF from Canva.
My Results
After running the giveaway:
- I had a little over 3000 people enter.
- 300 people clicked my links and chose to stick around.
- About 20 people clicked the link, downloaded my book, and unsubscribed. (No hard feelings! It was bound to happen.)
- I also had over 40% open rate on my emails, which was amazing! I heard the industry standard is 20%. So awesome!
- Spent a total of $220 in adds, prizes, and shipping.
Some things I learned:
- Don’t buy the prize first. Just buy it on Amazon after the contest ends and let them ship it to your winner. (You save on shipping if you have Amazon Prime, so that’s why.)
- You can’t pre-download books to kindles anymore, so if you giveaway books in your genre (which was the way I attracted my ideal fan) you will need to buy each book individually and gift it to the winner’s email.
A Mistake I Made…
After I announced the winner, I sent one final email that said: “be sure to click the download link for my book” (which I included in the email again). I let the readers know I would remove their email from my list if they chose not to click the link.
When I sent this, I forgot to remove people from my mailing list who had already downloaded my book. I annoyed them and lost about 30 would-be subscribers. (Darn it!).
NOTE from Kimberley: to increase the likelihood of your ideal reader choosing to initially opt-in OR stick around after they’ve received their freebie, give them multiple reasons to stay. Allow them a sneak peek of future content, describe the community and vibe that you’re hoping to build, or create open-loop email content that draws people into a story or concept over several emails. In short, make it worth their while to remain a part of your community. 
Conclusion
My overall thoughts regarding the giveaway…. Maybe not the most cost-efficient way to gain followers.
But I only had 30 people in my mailing list beforehand, so I didn’t feel right about asking an established author to promote me to their 3000 fans when I had no fans to promote them to.
And that’s what I’ve accomplished so far this year. But I’m busily working on my other marketing plans!
The most important upcoming plan is my weekly email to keep my current follower’s aware of my existence.
Behind the scenes, I’m drilling out a short story series to sell later this fall. But I want to build my mailing list to over 2K before I launch it.
The next few months will be quite the adventure, and I look forward to a future post so you can follow along as I share how these endeavors go!

Karen Ferreira’s creative agency specializes in providing high quality, affordable illustration services for authors.
As a keynote speaker at her annual conference, Children’s Book Mastery, Karen interviewed me about the crucial basics of promoting your book.
We explored the following:
- What mindset should authors adopt when promoting their book?
- What are the most crucial elements of promoting your book?
- What are some creative and unusual ways to promote your book?
- How can authors come up with their own marketing ideas?
- How can an author create a promo kit for themselves?
Because book promotion is such an important – but challenging – topic, Karen generously provided a transcribed copy of our discussion to use here on the blog.
We wrapped up our chat with Karen asking me what my top tip is to help authors succeed. (You’ll have to scroll all the way to the bottom of the post to find my answer. 
)
Q1: What Mindset Should Authors Adopt When Promoting Their Book?
Karen: The first question I have for you is what mindset would you say that authors need to adopt about promoting their books?
Kimberley: Your mindset can have more to do with your progress and success as a writer than even your ideas, skills or talent. A fixed mindset comes from the belief that your qualities are carved in stone, ‘Who you are is who you are period and characteristics like intelligence, personality, creativity, are fixed traits rather than something that can be developed’. And a growth mindset, on the other hand, comes from the belief that your basic qualities are things you can cultivate through effort, right?
Kimberley: So, yes, people will differ greatly in aptitude and talents, interests or temperaments, but I believe everyone can change and grow through application and experience. Having a growth mindset means relishing opportunities for self-improvement. You can ask yourself, ‘Okay, what do I currently view as challenges that may instead be viewed as an opportunity?’ In the context of marketing, I often hear writers say things like, ‘Well, I’m a writer, not a marketer’. ‘I don’t have time to write and promote my work’, or ‘It’s easier for author A because of XYZ’, or ‘This kind of opportunity, or strategy, won’t work for my particular situation’.
Kimberley: Identifying this sort of negative internal dialogue can be tricky because you’ve been listening to it for so long. It’s gone from thought to belief, to fact. But in order to move forward, it’s vital that you throw out that negativity and take responsibility for your own actions and the present state of your writing career. So you’d focus on your strengths, but be open to marketing and promotion as just another way to stretch your creative muscles.
Kimberley: Ways to start… you want to master your mindset by identifying your negative internal dialogue and cultivating an attitude that moves you closer to your dreams, instead of holding you back.
Kimberley: So dig deeper to find your purpose or the reason for doing the work that you do and why it’s so important. What do you stand for? What do you really believe in? And when you boil it all down, what really matters to you both personally and professionally? And then you write down exactly why you wrote your book, what inspired you, who did you write it for? And why do you want people to read it? You want to be as clear as you can on that.
Kimberley: And then you can outline your vision, your mission, your core values, so that it’s not only clear to you but crystal clear to others what you’re promising your readers and the world view that drives everything you do. Then once you clarify those goals, you can begin brainstorming the action steps you need to take to reach them.
Resource: Believe, Plan, Act: A Platform + Productivity Planner for Writers
Karen: That is such an amazingly good answer and I’m so, so happy you said that because it is so true and what you just said is so essential for authors to be able to succeed. We should listen to that a few times.
Kimberley: Yeah, and it is something that takes a little while to master and a lot of people tend to skip over this. I feel like a broken record, because I’m always talking about it, but it is something that, if you don’t nail that down, everything else is much harder later on.
Q2: What Are the Most Crucial Elements of Promoting Your Book?
Karen: Exactly, very, very true. Okay, and then what are a few of the crucial things to do to promote. The ones that you really should do?
Kimberley: Okay for this one, I’ll go into a bit of detail here, because just giving you a list of tactics isn’t all that helpful, and may or may not apply to everyone’s specific career objectives. So, when I consult with writers, I’m constantly reinforcing the idea that you have to lay a proper foundation first. Tips and tactics are the last things you incorporate because only after you’ve nailed down some basic business fundamentals can you successfully implement the tactics.
1 // Take Inventory
Kimberley: So, the first step, you would take inventory of your current assets—your skills, people, or any other resources—and determine what else you may need in your corner to accomplish your mission and the vision you set out for your writing career.
2 // Do a Brain Dump
Kimberley: Then, you do a brain dump to catch and organize your goals and projects. So, determine your business, marketing, personal, creative, and financial goals in terms of priority for, say, the next 6 to 12 months. Then brainstorm the tasks, the resources and any key dates for each goal. What you’re trying to define here is exactly what requires your focus and what you can let go of, at least for now.
3 // Create Your Marketing Summary + Business Plan
Kimberley: Once you’ve worked through all that, then you can create your marketing summary and business plan. This will help you to clarify your target audience, your author brand, your market research, your content strategy – including your promotions and launches. Determine a publishing schedule, your pricing models, and so on, all those things. And the more detailed and thorough you can be, the better.
Resource: The Book Launch Toolkit
Kimberley: It’s very important to keep demographics in mind when you’re drafting a promotion plan because it’ll help you decide what strategies to use in order to reach your target audience. And another example would be defining your author brand because it’s difficult to articulate to others who you are and what you have to offer if you haven’t clearly defined it for yourself first, right?
Karen: Yeah.
4 // Create Your Author Website
Kimberley: The next thing would be creating a website that acts as your home base. So it’s organized with sections on your books or other creative products, reviews of those books, an author bio, teaching or workshop activities, and any other services that you would offer.
Kimberley: Some tactics and some of the tips that you’ll hear about, although they might be successful for some authors, they may not actually fit with your author brand and your core values.
Kimberley: But for almost every online business, building a targeted and invested email list of subscribers is hands down one of the most important things you can do to ensure the long term growth of your writing career.
Karen: Yeah.
5 // Start Networking
Kimberley: And the last thing I’ll mention, as it’s critical for promotion, is networking. Being mindful that most authors, and I understand this too, being an introvert, you don’t really want to network. But we all know how important networking can be. It allows you to extend your influence and receive valuable feedback. You gain more exposure for your writing.
Kimberley: Some ways you can put this to work is to build a street team or a launch team, they are sometimes called, or a VIP list. You could get your illustrator involved. So, perhaps they’ll share the book with their own network of professionals and friends and followers. You want to maybe partner with other authors, or consider other kinds of collaborations.
Kimberley: Basically, be ready for any opportunity. Really just be prepared to represent yourself, your book, and your author business, in any situation. So that’s the list of the big primary points of how to promote and how each one builds on the other, and they all work together. You can’t really leave out any of those things.
Q3: What Are Some Creative + Unusual Ways to Promote Your Book?
Karen: Okay, brilliant. I hope people were making notes there for sure. And then, can you give us a few creative, unusual ways that you can promote your book?
Email List + Opt-In Incentives
Kimberley: Okay, some unusual ones. So, an email—I guess it’s not that unusual, but it’s definitely one of those critical ones that you have to have in there—is an email signup and opt-in incentive. You can offer resources and downloads. Or really any other book-themed content can work very well for that. How you entice people to join your community is where your creativity comes into play.
Leverage Themes and Local Tie-ins
Kimberley: Another idea might be to leverage your book’s themes and local tie-ins, and reach out to places like—depending on your book—zoos, museums, airports, travel and adventure shops, maybe professional offices like doctors, dentists, or optometrist offices, that kind of thing. You can look for local educational or visitor centers, children’s farms, souvenir shops, or other venues that attract families with young children. As long as it has some connection with your book’s theme. And they may be open to stocking your book in the shop, or they might even let you run an event. So that’s something to consider.
Take Pictures and Videos
Kimberley: And also remember to make sure to get pictures, and even videos, to post on your website and social media. Every time you’re doing these kinds of things, it’s always good to have. Either you take it or someone else is taking them.
Add a Link to Additional Resources
Kimberley: Let’s see… another one would be, consider adding a link to resources and extra goodies for readers at the back of your book.
Create Box Sets, Bundles or Other Collaborations
Kimberley: You could consider creating box sets, depending on how many books you have, or consider collaborating with other authors. You could even include exclusive content in that box set.
Sell Themed Merchandise
Kimberley: You could sell themed merchandise on your website. So again, depending on the age group, depending on the book’s themes, all that kind of stuff, things like custom t-shirts, coffee mugs, candles, cell phone or eReader covers, jewelry, framed art… It’s really unlimited.
Kimberley: This is why knowing your target audience is so critical because you have to know what they’re going to find valuable and what’s just not going to be that interesting to them. But you can have these things available for sale on your website, or even at events that you attend.
Create + Send Digital Gift Packs to Readers
Kimberley: What else? You can send, this one’s kind of fun I think, send a digital gift pack to your readers. Sending anything through the mail can get really expensive, so digital gift packs can be a great alternative. This builds on the idea of having a link in the back of your book and offering additional value or bonuses to your readers. Surprising people by giving more than they expected, and having it be things like exclusive content, short stories, or it could be some author commentary, artwork, in-depth character sketches, posters, whatever… Something that’s digital, that won’t cost anything extra once it’s developed but can add a lot of value and enjoyment for your reader.
Sponsor Local or Charitable Events
Kimberley: And even, I guess if you want to look into sponsoring some local events, or maybe support a charity that aligns with your mission and your brand values. If you know where you’re going with it, you can really make it a distinct and uniquely valuable experience for the reader.
Q4: How Can Authors Come Up With Their Own Marketing Ideas?
Karen: Awesome, nice, so many good ideas in there, and while it’s definitely a good idea to model what already works, how would you suggest that authors can come up with some of their own ideas? Whether it’s something kind of new, or whether it’s modeling, but it’s their own idea? How would you suggest they do that?
Kimberley: Well, the critical thing, and I can’t stress this enough, and so many people just gloss over it, because it seems like it’s not that important—but you have to do the work we talked about for mindset, vision, mission, and goals. You must have that nailed down, and what I’m talking about essentially is your author brand. You’ve got to develop your author brand, so you know exactly where you want to go with your career and why. What the relevance is, because it’s the heart of it, it’s the essence of it, that actually speaks to people. It’s the emotional part of it, that people will be drawn to.
Kimberley: Once you have that figured out, it’s much easier to develop these promotional plans that fit with what you want, and will actually move you in the direction that you’re looking to go, as opposed to just applying a bunch of little things—some might work, some might not. It’s the spaghetti against the wall kind of idea. It might work, but you won’t really know when you do a scatter of things, which one is actually moving the needle, which one is actually moving you in the direction you want to go…
Kimberley: Here’s an example, I’ve had people—when I do a consult—where they’ve built an email list of probably lovely people, but they’re not anything like the audience they were actually intending to build. It doesn’t help you.
Kimberley: Second, obviously, as you said, you’re going to be researching other successful authors and brands—but you don’t have to just stick to authors, this is the thing. It’s brands and businesses and organizations – as well as things like movie-makers, clothing and product designers, other influencers – what are they doing to develop deeper connections with their customers and grow loyalty?
Kimberley: Analyze what’s working and capturing attention, and develop marketing plans that align with your brand and objectives. So, you’re going to be examining, you know, the age, gender, and interests of your audience. You’re going to look at any trends, or any shared interests, or beliefs that you can include in your marketing. All those kinds of things, including your own creativity and instincts about your market. And again, it’s an overlap between your brand, your objectives, and then what interests and experiences the people you’re trying to reach are going to be looking for.
Kimberley: So, you want to take the time to really understand what motivates and moves your audience, and then create a content and brand marketing plan accordingly. Stay confident and genuine in your message, and then share it with your audience in a relatable way.
Kimberley: All of this, though, is what makes your brand unique. The better you can get at this, the easier it is for people to determine why you, instead of somebody else. That’s the key.
Q5: How Can An Author Create a Promo Kit for Themselves?
Karen: Yeah, that makes a lot of sense and it’s true. Okay, and then how can an author create a promo kit for themselves?
Kimberley: Okay, so anytime you’re doing anything public, as I said before, to market your book, make sure you’re taking pictures or have someone do it for you. You can use tools like Canva.com and Picmonkey.com to create many of your marketing and your visual graphics.
Kimberley: You’re going to want to start with things like your author bio, and you can have a short, medium and long version of it. Some fun facts, maybe. You’re going to have a book synopsis, and you can do that in the third person.
Kimberley: You can add a press release, a sample chapter, maybe. A good thing to have on there is interview questions, or a Q & A tip sheet.
Kimberley: So again, when you’re aware of branding, you take the time to move that conversation in the direction you’d like it to go. So, things like interview questions, Q & A’s, tips and stuff, are all good things to have available. It saves people time and it makes it more likely that they’ll offer to give you an interview.
Karen: When you say ‘Q & A tips’, can you give an example?
Kimberley: Let’s say for example if it’s a children’s book, and there’s a theme in there that you think is specifically something that you want to focus on in this particular interview… let’s say it’s a podcast, and it’s for new moms… so you want to try and have questions or tips that would speak to that particular audience. If you’ve got more general ones in your media kit, you can also create ones more tailored to the interviewer’s audience but are still in line with your book content.
Kimberley: So maybe it’s a book for bedtime for kids… you can provide the questions for the interviewer about your recommendations for sleep time routines. Or you can talk about the struggles that you’ve had with getting your own kids to bed on time. If your book is humorous, and your brand is also a bit cheeky, then questions that lead you to tell funny anecdotes will reinforce your author brand image. You want to make it relatable, and you want to direct it to this specific audience.
Kimberley: So again, if you know your target audience well, even the interviewer when he’s looking at the questions, is going to be able to judge whether this is a good fit for his podcast and listeners, as well. It’s always better for everybody if you can make it a good fit for all sides, as opposed to forcing or coercing. You don’t want to push anything on anybody. You want it to be a good fit, otherwise, it’s a waste of time because the interest won’t be there.
Kimberley: So let’s see what else… your contact info. You’re definitely going to want that. Do not play hard to get. I find this too on author websites. It’s so hard sometimes to find contact information for authors and it’s like, ‘But you want to be reached’. You definitely want to be reached. So, full name, email address, links to any of your other professional online platforms, your social media. If applicable, you can include your agent’s name, or any other representatives, or anybody else who people might have to go through to get to you.
Kimberley: You may want to add a sell sheet for retailers and book bloggers. What else? Book review excerpts. You don’t want to overdo it, you don’t need 50 of them, but you want to have those key reviews and testimonials, so people can know right away, ‘Okay, this book is for me, or this is what I’m going to like about it’.
Kimberley: Photos, of course. So, you’d want high-resolution headshots. Obviously your book covers, so people can access and download them because you don’t really want anybody off scraping the internet for random pictures of you, or your books, or whatever other info might be lurking out there online about you… best to control that kind of thing, again, because of branding.
Kimberley: You don’t want to overdo it, because you want it to be succinct. You want people to get the information that they need without being overwhelmed with a bunch of material. You want to be careful about that as well.

Q6: What is Your Top Tip to Help Children’s Book Authors – or Any Author – Succeed?
Karen: Brilliant, that is a comprehensive answer, which is excellent. And then what would be your top tip to help children’s book authors – or any author – succeed?
Kimberley: It would have to be, ‘Focus on developing your author brand.’ And when I say ‘author brand’, I’m not talking just logos and colors and fonts and stuff like that. To me, a brand is, as I mentioned, the heart of your business – why you’re doing what you do. The vision, the mission, the whole thing. So it’s not enough just to be good at what you write. You have to be able to easily and clearly communicate your vision, or the purpose behind your work—coherently voice it to others—the importance of it, so that they understand. This is to me why effective author branding is such a big and significant part of developing and growing your writer platform.
Kimberley: If you don’t have that nailed down, everything becomes much more difficult. Knowing who you are, what you’re about, and how it relates to the people you’re trying to reach, that’s, I think, probably the biggest thing you can do for yourself and your writing career.
Karen: You gave so many specifics and such a good overview of what’s needed, and I really appreciate—well—everything you said, but specifically, as well, as you were speaking about the mindset and how certain things come before anything else can really work. Thank you so much for joining me.
Kimberley: My pleasure.

You can thank me later.
Authors! Figured this just might be worth a look see. What do you think?
https://www.personalbrandingblog.com/5-reasons-everyone-needs-a-personal-website/Howdy-do Free Spirits, this has an outside chance to be worth a read.
Websites aren’t just for businesses, big or small. They can serve as your personal home on the internet, allowing you to make yourself visible. A personal website can become a funnel through which you express yourself, showcase your portfolio, or highlight your expertise regarding your hobbies.
More than that, people who are considering you for opportunities — speaking engagements, training, freelance gigs, consulting — will expect to see that you’ve established yourself as a go-to person in your field. Your style, tone, and approach can signal to others whether you’d be a good fit. A personal website can let you make your pitch in front of people you might never meet otherwise.
Here are five specific reasons you should consider building a personal website.
1. It offers a better employment edge.
If you’re a prospective employee hunting for a job, a site that showcases who you are can give you an edge, especially in a saturated market. It immediately sets you apart from other candidates and can serve as an extension of your résumé.
Although your social handles do a pretty job in that regard, a website portrays you as being passionate about what you do. For the best result, make sure your domain name bears your name alongside a .com extension. If there’s anything you want a prospective employer to see, don’t hesitate to feature it on your website. If you can connect it to a certain industry or need, all the better.
2. It showcases your talent.
If you have an incredible ability — graphic design, photography, cooking — you can showcase your expertise using a personal website. It automatically becomes a portfolio that serves as a location where people can meet you doing what you do best.
Done well, you might be able to get some mouth-watering gigs that would turn your financial situation around. New opportunities might even be developed that take multiple talents of yours into account — most employers and talent seekers love getting as much bang for their buck as they can without hiring multiple people.
3. It enables you to build valuable skills.
By running a website, you’ll find yourself learning lots of different things every day. Technology is fast-advancing, and your site will keep you learning and in front of a computer. Once you start managing your website, you’ll be able to say you can create, manage, and create content for a site. In today’s world, that’s a big deal that can fetch a good amount of money.
To really stretch your creative and technical muscles, add new sections or features to your site. By adding videos, a chat tool, or a selection of products — whether it’s desktop wallpapers or screenprint T-shirts — you’ll push your skills further. Tutorials on YouTube offer a great place to enhance your presence and the “skill” section of your résumé.
4. You’re able to build an online presence.
By maintaining a personal website, you control your overall image on the internet. You can determine what you share about yourself and even debunk some myths.
An owned website is a powerful tool you can use to set yourself apart and build reach. Before people are interested in engaging with you, they often do some Googling. If you include relevant keywords, location information, and samples, your site will no doubt pop up as a result. In other words, you’ll have total control of your image.
5. It can become your Plan B.
As discussed, when you’re running a website, you’ll find yourself learning some incredible skills like web development. You might even become a recognized expert or coach by sharing your knowledge.
There are numerous people today who aren’t actively practicing in their field but are blogging or writing about it via their website. Through this medium, they can make money through Google AdSense, affiliate marketing, or even eBooks. A lot of individuals have been able to make a living through their website without currently having a direct role in an industry they’re well-versed in.
The advantages of having a personal website are enormous. The gains outweigh the costs, and it’s something you’ll never regret building. All you have to do is choose a reliable web host, register your domain, install WordPress, and share your expertise with the world.
