Publishers demand that authors have a strong online presence because it leads to guaranteed sales. The moment you finish your manuscript—before it even goes to editing—you need to begin building your brand.
Marketing your book should start at least 12 months before its launch.
Starting early not only helps create buzz, but also gives time to refine your book based on feedback from fans.
An author website is an evolving hub of resources selling your book. It’s your own space, where you share your writing journey. Don’t rely on the hamster-wheel of social media where posts disappear, and content feeds AI!

I help first-time Authors with all the design and tech to set up a permanent marketing showcase that protects your IP. Together we’ll have fun creating a long-term marketing tool for your book, and a resource for publishers.
