😏 For Authors Who Want to…
Give viewers an overview of their published work, awards, and background/bio
Drive sales for their newest book with its own page
Dazzle industry professionals with an organized page that has all the info they need to promote events, write articles, and more
🔷 Main Functions
Send viewers directly to a page dedicated to your featured book
Direct readers to the sales channels of your choosing (Amazon, bookstore links, etc.),
Collect newsletter subscriptions
Present yourself professionally to book industry professionals
✅ Enhanced Homepage
This homepage was created with modern design trends in mind. It also highlights the authors Instagram feed right on the page, and showcases one chosen TikTok video as well (either by or about the author or their books).
The homepage houses the necessary functions, like showcasing your newest book, providing purchase links for other published works, introducing the author, and collecting newsletter subscriptions. Similar to a single-scroll page, most information on this website is found on the homepage. For example, clicking "Shop" in the menu scrolls the page down to the "Shop" section of the homepage.
✅ Use the Featured Book Page as a Landing Page
When you're promoting a new book, you can send viewers directly to the featured book page instead of your homepage. There, you can give them detailed information that wouldn’t make sense on a homepage to help them decide if the book is right for them.
Tip: Then when you have a new book to promote, just duplicate this page and swap out the images, text, and links.
✅ Industry Pros Will Love Your Press Kit
When you collect everything an industry professional needs before they have to ask? Brilliant. You make their job way easier, which works in your favour. The press kit page is a place to compile these materials for easy reference.
