Do any of these apply to you?

You recently got a book deal and you want to make the most of it (congrats!) … or you’re publishing independently in the next few months
You’re ready to grow your author platform and get serious about your writing career
You’re a talented writer, but you weren’t born with a mouse in your hand ;)
You’re feeling overwhelmed by author tools and website decisions… and maybe you’re procrastinating?
You want honest, impartial advice in plain English, before you invest time and money in an author website that needs to work hard for you
Here’s a sample of the what we might discuss during your Clarity Call:
-
✓ Your best author website tool
An honest recommendation: WordPress vs. Squarespace for your unique situation

How many pages will you need? Which pages should you add later?
-

Which email list provider is best for you? Should you be on Substack?
-
✓ Lead magnet / reader magnet recommendation
What freebie should you offer, to grow your audience?
-
✓ Blogging: yes or no?
Is blogging right for you and your author goals?
-
✓ Book selling options

Pauline was a dream to work with. She's a fantastic designer AND an incredibly organized and communicative professional (those two things don't always go together!). I never had to follow up with her or remind her of anything—she was on top of every detail, and really delivered. Highly recommended.

How the Author Website Clarity Call works
Here’s what to expect:
-
Pick the date and time for your Clarity Call, and complete your invoice payment.
If you prefer, you can also schedule a quick complimentary chat with me here, to make sure my expertise fits your needs.
-
Immediately after booking, you’ll receive your Author Clarity Workbook. My clients get the best outcomes when they spend an hour or two doing this prep work in advance. This gives me the chance to study your author business before our call, and in turn, our Clarity Call can focus on solutions.
-
We’ll meet by Zoom for an in-depth discussion based on your Workbook answers. Allow 60 minutes for your session with me.
-
After our meeting, I’ll send a recording of our Clarity Call so that you can refer to our discussion and my recommendations.
-
If we feel we’re a good match to work together, you’ll also receive project options for working with me to bring your author website to life.
There is absolutely no obligation. You can take my recommendations and implement them on your own, or with another service provider, if you choose.
If you choose to move forward with me, your Clarity Call payment is credited to your project invoice for a Custom Website or Express Website.
