First thing’s first: what is an Author Page? An Author Page is your author website! As you start working on your book project, there is one thing to keep in mind: it is NEVER too early to start building your audience. We want to start connecting with people and allow them to get to know you as who you intend to be: a developing author, Illustrator, or author-illustrator. Starting to build an intentional audience early will start our process of having book buyers lined up and ready to go when our book is ready and launched! The next step is being findable as a book creator. When individuals are searching for you on the web, it is important that people can easily find: your social media accounts, (if you have a blog) your blog, and an author page. All of these need to be findable through a quick google search… and consistent branding needs to be found across all platforms! So with that, join me for episode #6 to get started talking all about your Author Page.

Being creative is not a choice, it’s part of who you are. To deny it means you are trying to get one of purist parts of you— the one that makes you, you! In this episode we talk all about what it means to be a creative person, how to decide which paths to pursue and which paths maybe you should pivot away from, and the importance of staying true to your authentic self. You get to where you want to go by taking action: whether that means pursuing one path at a time or three, you must start. The important thing to realize is that, nothing happens at once, and the road creates itself as you take steps forward. In this episode Rachel shares part of her creative journey as well as a big discovery that helped her to arrive at where she is today. Part one of a two part episode.

Creativity takes such courage! Only you can safeguard your idea and develop it until it is ready to be born into the world: and then after that, it will need to be able to stand on its own two feet! It is critical for us to talk not only about strategy, sales, marketing and product development (those items that will allow your book to hold its own in the consumer world) but we need to make sure that we talk about mental preparedness so that we can practice the mindset that it takes to get us to where we need to be! This episode is all about adopting a mindset that will help you take your seed of an idea and get it past the finish line of a flourishing book.
