Elena suggests looking at well-branded author Pinterest accounts for inspiration. Debra Kristi is a YA Fantasy Author. "Her Pinterest is very well branded to the genre she writes and is an amazing example of how to manage your account."
Also look at Brenna Aubrey. "This Geek Girl Romance author's boards have her books and quotes from her books. She's done very well at keeping to just her brand even though there aren't a ton of boards; what she's got is good."
