In this solo episode of My Simplified Life, host Michelle Glogovac discusses the importance of supporting authors, especially as they navigate the process of publishing their books. She shares her personal experience as an author and offers practical ways to show your support and help boost their success.
What she’s talking about
Share and recommend the author's book
Write a review on platforms like Goodreads and Amazon
Extend your congratulations, invite them to your podcast, or include them in your newsletter
Sharing and recommending an author's book on your social media platforms is a powerful way to support them. Your followers trust your recommendations, and this could lead to increased sales for the author. Michelle shares a personal story of how a picture of her reading a book led to a pre-order of that book by a follower.
Writing a review on platforms like Goodreads and Amazon can significantly boost an author's visibility and credibility. Pre-publication reviews are particularly helpful, and positive reviews can counter any potential negative reviews that might be posted out of spite or without even reading the book.
Lastly, simply extending congratulations to an author can provide them much-needed encouragement during the long and often solitary process of writing and publishing a book. If you host a podcast or have a newsletter, inviting the author to share about themselves and their book can also help them reach a broader audience. In conclusion, supporting an author goes beyond buying their book; it involves helping them amplify their work to reach more readers.
