Many of us writers, when we think about working on our author bio, we tend to put it off. Or we put something together that doesn’t fully reflect who we are. This is a great way to get readers to turn away from your book! 📕 You want to have your personality shine while showing your accomplishments. 🥇 You want to give a feeling of who the person is behind your book, and you can do that by having a nice professional bio! So, to answer the question: Is an Author Bio Important? Yes! The author bio is something that you will use on more than your book. You can use it on Goodreads, Amazon and on speaking events. This is yet another reason why it pays off having a memorable bio. If you’re wanting help with getting a customized bio, then dm me, or comment “bio”. It’s time for that next level up!

Let’s shine the light on those authors that we enjoy! 😉 It’s great to remember what sparked our interest into writing, world building and story sharing. You can tell us of your first favorite, your overall, or maybe there’s an author that inspired you. I want to hear it all! So, comment below about an author that you want to put the spotlight on and explain why you chose that person. 📚

So, for this month I have a wonderful guest speaker, Natalie Horseman who has written a few children's picture books and has a great way to look at the world.

This talk is definitely one that you don't want to miss! Come join on Friday, September 12th at 11:30am PST/ 8:30pm CET! Plus, you can find it in the calendar! So mark it so you don't forget!

So, I'm a curious person! I like to learn more about others and a great way to learn more about someone is to see what their workspace looks like! This would be the place that you use most often when it comes to working on your book. It could be a place on a couch, in a kitchen, or in an office space. Even in a public place that has turned into your writing sanctuary. The place that you have chosen should help you get into the flow of writing. It should be a place that you feel safe and you can open up. Now, not everyday is easy to write, I get that! But it's good to have a place that you use frequently to help trigger your brain to know when you get into this spot, it's writing time! ✍️ To make it easier to turn writing into a routine, start doing this the same time daily or specific days out of the week! It takes about 21 days to create a habit! So, stay consistent and it will become easier to get into the flow of writing! ✍️ You can do it! 👍 Okay, let's get back to our writing space. Please share a picture of your writing place! I want to see and I bet others do too! Plus, doing this is something that you can do on social media as well to pique the interest of your audience. They'll be curious to learn what you are writing! ✍️ It's a win-win when you share a pic of your writing spot!! Below are my pics of my space! Let's see yours too!
