How to support authors you love

I get a lot of questions from my social circle about how to support my work. (Thank you, friends!) As a primary measuring stick of authorial success, book sales get a lot of attention. However, I consider them only a small piece of the puzzle. There are so many things you can do beyond purchasing a single book. You can even support your favorite authors without spending any money at all!

I’m going to round up my favorites here. Feel free to leave your suggestions or questions in the comments!...
