I happen to be in awe of writers. I am an avid reader. Books take me to magical places and for a person to create a piece of work that can transform my world, give me inspiration, open doors of new thought – I stand in pure admiration.
Authors - you are creating your book page for an audience with the mindset of what I just described above. Put some thought into designing a presentation that will capture this feeling and connect with your reader. The book page form in your Den gives you all the prompts you need to make a solid connection with a variety of visitors.
The first thing a visitor sees on your book page is your book cover and summary. Put thought into catching their attention – what will the reader experience? Is it a gripping account of …, is it an emotional journey, will it inspire your audience? Tell your visitors what they will experience from reading your book.
Next completely fill in the form. Upload a sample chapter and make sure it has your book title, authorsden url, author name included. Here is a great article from fellow author Sheri K. Hoff, on how to create a sample chapter.
