Done!
Yes! It humbles me that our tragic story has given people hope and encouragement. https://www.facebook.com/WithUnwashed...
Liked your page! My book (true story) also touches on the power of encouragement in times of great trials. With Unwashed Hands ~ A True Story https://www.facebook.com/WithUnwashed...

Here is a problem I see with a thread like this, it's SP writers supporting SP writers and feeding off each other. While its nice to have a place like this to socialize and get information from other SP writers, its like lemmings following one another into the sea... Writers need readers, not other no name writers interacting with them. Oh, I know, writers are readers too and its very nice to have a social platform to interact with our fans, but you know, if the message of our work is not getting through to the average reader, then we fail...
Hi everyone: I would like a facebook page for my books, but I need to know how to do that. Actually I am already on facebook; is there any suggestion, please? Thanks!

Hi Carla I've just liked your page - lovely cover photo by the way - very inviting in terms of attracting people to read your book. Would you mind liking my page please. I've called it Inspiring Ideas ... and it covers my books and music: https://www.facebook.com/pages/Inspir...

Click on the little white cogwheel top right on the blue bar.
Click 'Create Page' in the sub-menu that appears.
Then just fill in the details, load up a cover pic and a profile pic and you're done.
Hi,My author page on facebook would be the same as my books page. www.facebook.com/pages/Gloria-Piper/2...

As you gain more likes for your facebook page new tools are unlocked, and those tools help you to get your message out to more people (ub particular the non-authors we all want to reach). Swapping facebook likes allowed me to push over the line and access some of those tools so this is definitely worth doing.
I've liked all those above me (think I wore the like button out!)My author page is https://www.facebook.com/pages/SimonG...
Thanks,

I have my personal profile page and my author page on FB. I can’t handle more than that. I use my own name to avoid confusion. I have 2,246 likes on my author page. I do use that page to promote my works, but I also try to engage visitors by making my page interesting. I like to include anything good, art, videos, photos, music, and my own posts. It’s not just about the writing. It’s about good art. I like too thank those who like my page and be gracious. The numbers are good for getting exposure, but they don't sell books. I rather have quality likes I can develop a relationship with. I've met some really good people and interesting authors, and then there are some, I still don't know what they write. By the way, here is a link to my FB author page for anyone interested http://www.facebook.com/GailLWinfree.

PJ, you must be Patti. Thanks for liking my page. I went over and liked yours as well. A lot of my likes have come from threads and posting my own posts on other writing-related pages. I started with one like, me, almost two years ago. Then I took them one at a time. As I said, though, I prefer quality likes. People who I can interact with. When you start to get a lot of likes, that's more difficult to do.
I think I liked everyone. Let me know if I missed you. Thanks for those who liked my author page. I'm reposting for those who are interested:www.facebook.com/authorsandraproto
Thanks.
Hello,new "likes" for new authors!:)
And in this discussion I agree with Simon. With more "likes" is more tools and more people ( maybe future readers) see your books our your art products. So dont stop!! :)

Greetings all and Happy 2014! My series, Phineas Blue has a Facebook Page at: https://www.facebook.com/PhineasBlueS...
I try to post often about a range of topics. So far, I have a very small community of followers that's growing. Come on by and give me some feedback and a "like" if you're inclined.

Hi Carla, I liked your page - your novel looks fascinating.May I ask how you were able to post your 'Giveaway' with cover foto etc. I have tried copying the Goodreads widget but it doesn't seem to work or I'm doing something wrong. Any tips would be much appreciated. Thanks

I just published my eBook, Just A Flavor, on 1/7/2014. I had my Facebook Fan page ready to go once the book was published, My Facebook fan page link is www.facebook.com/justaflavor. Like it! And it gives more marketing power to the book.
Hello everyone! Whew! I think I got everyone 'liked'...but if I missed anyone, please let me know! After a busy weekend working on 4 WIPs...yes, I gained another one over the weekend because when I started on Friday trying to catch up...I got another new idea and just had to put it to words! I published my first two books in 2013...
Blood Vengeance and Coming Home

Best of luck and prosperity to all!
Okay tried to get people. I just finally opened my author Facebook page and I'm still figuring out how to use it. https://www.facebook.com/judy.goodwin...
Aha, and now I've learned how to create a page that can actually be 'liked': https://www.facebook.com/pages/Judy-G...
Hi everyone: I know how to get a facebook page for my books, what must I do? Please Help!
Yes, we created a Facebook page for our book, "Ladybug Love: 100 Chinese Adoption Match Day Stories", but not a website yet. We also have two author blogs that are just our names.Have many / any of you done both?
http://www.facebook.com/ladybuglovebook
There is too much to go through on this thread, but I always thought it was more clean to just have an author FB fan page instead of just one for every book. I know as a Facebook user, I found it redundant to like an author's book every time one came out, so I stopped doing it. I think an author should just keep one page under the name they write under, and update it with their work. If they have more than one pen-name, then I think that would be the only time it would make sense to have more than one FB fan page.
Just my opinion, for what it's worth. ;)
I have nothing against authors having facebook pages. But I do think its in poor taste to beg for likes. Read back over this thread and see how many members have liked someones thread and then asked for a like back. Some may call it supporting other self published writers, but the way to support other authors is to buy their books and brag about it, if they are worth bragging about. Of course, many SP books are not good enough to brag about...
And, I liked it! Looks good, Judy. I read about your blog tour, too. I wish you much success!Liked everyone else, too! https://www.facebook.com/pages/Aimee-...
