It’s common for publishing house decision-makers to look up the author on Google during meetings. Your online presence can be a very important factor in whether or not you are offered a contract.
Your website isn’t just a platform. It’s a microphone.
There’s so much talk of platform that we can forget what it really means. You have a message you want to get out to the world. Your platform is your unique message and the background that allows you to stand behind it. Your website as the microphone that will carry your message across the world.
Potential agents and publishers are looking at more than your manuscript when deciding whether or not to work with you. They want to see if your voice is carrying.
Your manuscript matters…and so does your website.
The struggle:
Many authors struggle with their sites and try to patch together a DIY version. The problem is that it’s easy to make mistakes and lose readers…without even knowing it.
Making your site great doesn’t have to feel like learning a new language.
