Building Your Website

Hello!In this episode we’re talking about author and illustrator websites. When to make one, what to put on it, and where to find resources for those things. Here are some of the authors, artists, and other things we brought up during the episode. Just a disclaimer - please do not take our word as fact. The publishing industry is always changing, and often we are talking about things we are remembering from a while ago or have heard from others. While the agent deep dive is always fact checked, we do not prep for these episodes or look up other information beforehand. It’s always important to do your own research! If we realize after the fact that we have gotten anything wrong, we will do our best to correct it in the show notes.Here are the links for Daniel Lazar, the agent from our agency deep dive:Publishers marketplace profile: https://www.publishersmarketplace.com/members/DanielLazar/Writer’s house: https://www.writershouse.com/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/danlazaragent/?hl=enSnapseed, the app for blemish removal if you don’t have any programs for photo editing things like that for author photos: https://snapseed-app.com/The Girl of Fire and Thorns book 1 (one of Rae Carson’s books): https://tinyurl.com/4dayxc88 Tracy Straaten’s website (the PR person I mentioned seeing the website talk from):https://tvsmediagroup.com/aboutAnimorphs!: https://tinyurl.com/44vtcwrzNamecheap, where you can buy a website domain:https://www.namecheap.com/Different website hosts:Wordpress: https://tinyurl.com/ywj7uuycWix: https://tinyurl.com/yb4wxn5e Squarespace: https://tinyurl.com/damvttvpSeesaw Press: https://seesaw-press.com/
