Do I Need an Author Website?


​YES! You Need an Author Website!

Yeah, yeah, yeah, you've heard that before.

But do YOU really need a website? Do you really need one right now?

The truth is, it depends.

It's taken me a week to recover from the whirlwind trips to Portland, OR for AWP and Boston, MA for The Muse & The Marketplace.

The best part of each was definitely connecting with old friends and making some new ones.

I documented my fun on Instagram, Facebook, and Twitter, and below is a sampling of the pics I took.

​You can click on any of the posts to access the original Instagram or Facebook posts and explore further.

Enjoy!

#Muse19 & You Need a Website

I'm especially excited to share my presentation on First Author Websites:
