Create Your Facebook Author’s Page

I’m a Twitter fan. I check in on Facebook occasionally, but I’d rather promote books with Tweets. Managing multiple social media platforms eats into my writing time. When writers encouraged me to set up a Facebook author’s page, I thought, “So now people read me on Twitter, Facebook and my author’s page? No thanks. Besides, I already have an Amazon author’s page.”

Besides, wouldn’t my book links get lost in my other posts?

Then a publisher I submitted to wanted to see my Facebook author’s page. Two days later, I read Chloe’s article explaining how to set an author page up. It’s like a mini-site with tabs to a catalog page featuring your books. I’m sold.

Your Facebook author page provides a shop for readers to browse your books and buy directly or from Amazon.

(Be aware, the layout it different from a standard page. I created my banner to include space for my profile pic to cover a portion of it—like happens on my Facebook home page—only to discover the profile pic is displayed to the right. So take the time to examine the layout and read the Facebook guidelines as well.)
