Author Website Criteria - How Does Your Site Measure Up?

This excellent article by Diana Urban over at the BookBub Partners blog, 45+ Author Websites with Stellar Designs, includes the list of ten criteria that were used in choosing the author websites they would feature:

• Include a list of published books


• Prominently display new or impending releases


• Provide an obvious way to subscribe for updates


• Provide a way to contact the author


• Include links to the author’s social media profiles


• Display a list of upcoming events


• Include a blog to showcase the author’s personality and/or writing process


• Be easy to navigate


• Have a clean, unique design


• Be mobile friendly

It's great to see what the more than forty authors featured did, and, just as important, we get to take an inventory of our own author websites.

What changes might make our own website even better?
