Several web designers (including me 😠) have recently been targeted by phishing emails that impersonate us.
These days, it truly is possible to create your own stunning website without being an expert. All it takes is time – most web platforms such as Squarespace and Wix are easy to use – once you’ve got over the initial learning curve, and learnt your way around their content management systems.
I recently finished my 13th novel and, as I write this, it is currently with my agent for her verdict (cue much email-refreshing and chewing of nails on my part).
You’ll be surprised at the number of authors I talk to who say they don’t think author websites are necessary.

So it’s super important that your author website looks just as good on mobile as it does on desktop!
I cannot stress enough how important it is to have a good author headshot! So many authors I work with absolutely hate having their photos taken but you will need a decent picture of yourself to use on your author website, social media platforms and probably on your book jacket too.
Most of my author friends are, like me, traditionally published, and one theme that comes up again and again in conversation is frustration. And a sense that we don’t have control over our careers.
