Blog Hogs, Social Twitter and Online Tools for Authors: Writer Websites (Continued)

As Kassia Krozser mentioned earlier that the writer website is THE most important tool for writers. Here's her take on why: The writer website allows writers to own their fans.

Facebook, Twitter, and other platforms may change or fade in popularity (think MySpace), but the writer website should be considered the constant that survives all these changes and is always ready to receive visitors from the new platforms.

One last quote from Kassia: "Nobody cares about your website until they need it."

Blog Hogs, Social Twitter and Online Tools for Authors: Writer Websites

Here are a few (of several) things Kassia Krozser advises making sure is on your website:

  • Author bio
  • Decent author photo (make sure it represents you as a writer)
  • Complete book list (not just most current release)

And Kassia advises (strongly): Keep your website as up to date as possible. If the information gets old or out of date, then readers, editors, etc., will find wrong info when they visit your site.

Kassia: "Keep the private stuff private."
