How to Make an Author Smile (1).png

Everyone likes a bit of serendipity and a nice surprise — including authors. Here are some ways you can make an author’s day…

  • Buy their book. Read it, add it to your collection, or give it as a gift.

  • Recommend the book to your friends.

  • Add the book to your reading list on Goodreads.

  • Leave a review on Goodreads, Amazon, B&N. It doesn’t have to be a book report. You can leave one line about what you liked. Online retailers use reviews to determine book placement in ads and promos.

  • Recommend the book to your book club.

  • Invite the author to visit or Skype with your book club.

  • Take a picture of the book when you see it in a store or library and tag the author on social media. It’s neat to see where your book pops up.

  • Request that your library order the book.

  • Pop in at an author’s book signing.

  • Share the author’s posts on social media.
