Some writing speaks to us in a very personal way and certain authors consistently entertain us so much that we eagerly anticipate their next title and ensure our chance to read it by requesting a hold through our library or pre-ordering their upcoming new release. Authors can always use assistance in getting the word out about their books and they want to know if their writing has touched a reader. There are many ways you can show support for your favorite author. Try one or two of the suggestions below!
Buy the author's book for yourself and buy extra copies to give as gifts.
Recommend their books to friends, family, and colleagues.
Post a review on Amazon or on other retailer sites.
Make a request for your library to purchase copies for their collection.
Post about the book on social media.
Attend book signings.
Visit the author's website.
Send the author an email telling them how much you enjoyed their book and specifically which part.
Better yet, write the author a real pen and paper letter for them to treasure.
Your favorite author writes for you, their reader, so take a few minutes today to reach out to them or help them spread the word about their latest book.
