An author's website is arguably their most useful marketing tool. It's where readers can find out more about their favorite books and contact their favorite authors. Unlike social media where posts are fleeting, a website is a permanent and searchable stamp to a writer's career. Whether personally developing a website or getting a pro to do it, learn some useful suggestions on what to include in an author website. This webinar will be recorded and available to registered attendees for 30 days following the event.
