Whether you're working with a traditional publisher or you're going the self-publishing route, one thing's the same: You need to market your book.It's up to you to truly market your book like it deserves. This burden is especially great when you're a new author without a proven track record. You must do everything you can to get the word out. As a now-published author, you need a website. Need— as in, it's not optional. Your website is where you establish your brand persona. It's always where you invite people to learn more about you. Ultimately, your website is your home online and where people will go when they want to follow you and find out more about you. An author's website should contain the following information: Your bioYour photoExcerpts from your bookA link to buy your bookA way to contact youLinks to find you on social mediaA downloadable media kit (includes your photo, a short bio, a blurb about your book, and a few reviews) Your website doesn't need to be lengthy or elaborate to get the job done. For now, it can be a one-page information sheet for all things related to you, the author.
