PET PEEVES: Why Readers Hate an Author’s Website

DearAuthor.com has a great post on the Top Ten Peeves From Booksellers and Readers about Author Websites. I’ve summarized the list, but you should read the whole article. Insightful.

No printable list of your books.
No ISBNs.
Series not identified and books not put into a series list.
No contact author on front page
Having to hunt for most recent releases.
No list of future releases.
No list of awards.
No links to order.
Not friendly.
Nothing to bring the reader back.

How are you doing? Is your website stacking up? What’s the hardest/easiest thing you’ve done on your site this month? What would you add to this checklist?
