Grab this prompt and share your results 👇 (give it your photo) Create a personalized vertical infographic called “My Author Journey” based on what you already know about me from our previous conversations. Think about everything you know about me specifically as an author, writer, publisher, or creative person. Choose 5 interesting or meaningful things that help tell my story as an author. These can be anything that stands out about my journey — what I write about, why I write, what inspires me, my experiences as an author, my creative process, challenges I’ve worked through, how I connect with readers, lessons I’ve learned, how I approach publishing or marketing, what I’m currently exploring, or where I hope to go next. Do not follow a predetermined set of categories. Instead, look at what you actually know about me and decide which 5 things make my author story interesting. Every author’s infographic should be different based on their individual journey. Do not invent information. Only use things you genuinely know about me from our conversations. If you don’t know enough about my author journey to create something meaningful, ask me a few simple questions first. Keep the infographic simple, personal, and highly visual. Use a maximum of 5 sections or callouts. Each section should contain only a short headline, interesting fact, statistic if relevant, or 1–2 short sentences. Don’t feel obligated to include things like book sales, royalties, number of books published, or other publishing statistics. Include those only if they genuinely stand out as an important part of that particular author’s story. Use illustrations, icons, symbols, writing elements, or other visual details to help tell the story instead of relying on lots of text. If I provide a photo, incorporate it naturally into the design. Make the design feel personal to the author. Use what you know about their personality, writing style, interests, audience, or creative journey to inspire the overall look and feel.

TRY THIS PROMPT FOR A NEW IDEA👇 Act as an expert Pinterest graphic designer and visual marketer. Create a vertical Pinterest pin (1000 x 1500 pixels) that promotes my book and encourages users to click. Design the pin using eye-catching colors, clean typography, and a professional layout optimized for mobile viewing. Feature my book cover prominently and include supporting visuals that relate to the topic of the book. Add a short, scroll-stopping headline of no more than 8 words that sparks curiosity or highlights a key benefit. Use my branding colors where appropriate, include subtle visual elements that reinforce the book's theme, and leave plenty of white space so the design is easy to read. The overall style should feel modern, high-quality, and highly shareable on Pinterest. My book title is [Book Title], it helps readers [What the Book Helps With], my target audience is [Target Audience], and the main message I want to communicate is [Main Benefit or Hook]. The finished image should be optimized to maximize clicks, saves, and engagement on Pinterest.
