Find the thread in your work
Identify the themes, tone, and reader experience that connect your books. Your author identity should grow from your work and values, rather than a passing promotional trend.
Create a consistent home
Use a clear author biography, consistent photography or visual identity, and an up-to-date bibliography. Help readers recognize you across your website, retailer pages, and social channels.
Build a relationship over time
Share thoughtful updates at a pace you can sustain. Make newsletter subscriptions voluntary and easy to leave. A professional identity develops through reliable communication and care for your reader community.
