Struggling with your author website?
You’re happy putting pen to paper (or fingers to keyboard) and creating imaginative worlds and colourful characters.
But … thinking about your author website gives you the shivers.
Or you keep putting off working on your webpages because something else always seems to take priority.
Or maybe your book sales have dried up (or never flowed in the first place). You know if you improved your author website, you’d be more visible to your ideal readers.
But you don’t know where to start.
If this sounds familiar, my website mentoring for authors could be the key to getting your book sales (back) on track.
Meet your mentor
I’ve worked in the world of web and online marketing for 20 years.
I’m putting the finishing touches to my own novel and am a freelance editor and proofreader. I’m a Partner Member of the Alliance of Independent Authors (ALLi) and a Professional Member of the Chartered Institute of Editing and Proofreading (CIEP)
I’m also the author of Improve Your Author Website and Improve Your Editor Website.
As my mentee, you’re in safe hands.
What you get
My author website mentoring service is carefully tailored to your requirements, no matter your level of web expertise.
I’ll help you capitalise on your strengths and give you lots of actionable advice on how to improve your author website. You’ll come away feeling energised and clear on how to move forward.
I will shape the sessions around your needs and goals for our time together, whether minutes, weeks or months.
You’re not only paying for our sessions together and my skills and expertise. I also spend time outside these to study your online presence and to answer your questions and concerns via email.
While every session or programme of sessions is unique, you could use your mentoring time for:
- Pinpointing specific issues with your author website: I will take a detailed look at your site beforehand, then go through exactly what you need to do to stand out from the crowd and attract your ideal readers
- Discussing search engine optimisation (SEO): I’ll give you clear advice on how to increase your author website’s visibility in search engine results
- Learning how to showcase your writing: Highlight your books, reviews and writing talents to show potential readers why they should read your work
- Measuring your success: Learn how to use analytics tools to assess your website’s effectiveness and make continuous improvements
