Author pages

*likes all y'alls*

It's mostly family & friends as well, but I'm slowly getting the hang of what type of content to share.

 

I liked everyone who has posted here.

I hope to see you guys there. I'm running a "virtual event" on Saturday. I hope some of you will "attend."

I should mention this is my personal kick in the pants to get some new work done since I've done nothing for months. Has anyone else done this? What was your success/shortcomings with it?

 

I don't have a Facebook page at the moment - I'm nervous about getting into yet another time-sucking social website, but I can see the sense in it. I don't need something to show to agents, but it will probably help if/when I self-publish. The more people I can reach the better.

 

I'm interested in starting a Facebook author's page as well. Currently, I have a twitter account (which I love), a personal facebook, and one for my Ayurveda/Yoga business. I post on my business page once a week or usually put updates on my workshops. I also have a website for that business, and I find it all very useful. However, I would like to know what purpose it serves having an author page if I haven't published anything yet.

I deleted my blog because it was too time consuming. Facebook pages are more convenient, I think. Would some of you that have author pages share your thoughts on this? Because I can definitely see how it would be useful to have one if you're a published author...but before? :/

 

Hey guys, I have a new Facebook page, website, twitter account and blog and I'd love to have you guys stop on by and join up if you like them.

Here are the links:

And the blog

Thanks guys, and I hope you enjoy them.

I try to update on a regular basis, and let your friends know, too, if you think they'll enjoy them.

 

I have had one for some time now. It is my understanding that if you wish to publish traditionally you must have already started the marketing framework, meaning having already built up some type of audience and have the platforms in place.

I have seen many Author pages on FB, most are just shameless self plugs, some use them to voice opinions on social matters. The best Author FB pg I have seen is Anne Rice's https://www.facebook.com/annericefanpage IMHO she is a freaking genius! She manages to use her Page to keep people engaged, when someone shares a post from her page to theirs, others see from where it came and new people are constantly finding her work this way.

I use my page to update on my goings on in relation to my book, and my blog I have found a few people from all around the world who are interested in reading should I ever manage to finish my book. I find that it has helped me understand what readers want, how to interact with people better, how to engage a wider audience with interactive hooks, it has given insight as to what time of day is most active and thus my posts are most likely to be seen which will come in handy for running promotions and special events later down the road, and prolly most importantly it has been a lot of fun. I spend maybe an hour or two on my author's pg. and blog combined. I have done events on a large scale, and I have been running word games on my page, I have a once a day post that I do. Everything of mine is linked together so a post on my blog shows up on my Fb and on twitter.

I have had conversations with Agents, Publishers, Authors, and wannabe actors, etc. because of my tweets. It is a really cool time to be alive.

I hope that helps. My A-FB PG link is in my siggy if you want to check it out.

 

I went over and liked your FB pg.

 

Thank you, that was very kind of you.

 

I don't have an author page at FB, just a regular page. Some readers did start a fan page for my fantasy series called Flankers. We discuss some about the novels there and I do trivia and such, and I usually announce information and updates there first before elsewhere.

Hi folks, I've liked your FB author's pages and am looking forward to your updates.

I don't have a FB page myself as I don't think FB gives enough space to share a detailed opinion or bring a piece of writing to a reader's full attention. When I'm on FB I tend to go into 'scan' mode, however I do slow down and read properly when I follow links to people's blogs.

If anyone's interested my blog, which features poems and articles based in local history, mythology and folklore can be found here: From Peneverdant | Enchanting the Shadowlands

 

I resurrected my Tumblr account. Its more fitting for what I'd like to do with a blog, even though Wordpress is fantastic. My Tumblr is still in its infancy, but I'll be updating it with snippets of my work: Namaste. Welcome..
