Why a Website?
If you’re an author, a website is by far the easiest, most cost-effective, and most immediate way to reach your readers and fans. Your website is your brand – the look, feel, and attitude you project to your readers. It’s the best place for them to find your new releases and news, as well as information on your backlist and where to buy your books. Printed items like bookmarks, magnets, and brochures are great for face-to-face interaction with readers, but a website can reach thousands of people per day with less overall investment.
