Author photos
When you get to the exciting stage of having your manuscript found by someone who believes in it as much as you do or you go the route of self publishing, you will benefit from having some author headshots in your possession to use for social media promotion or back covers or inside sleeves. You will need to narrow yuor style down and possibly look locally at what inexpensive talent is around your area to help you photo shoot. Take it from me that selfies for authors are a bad look. My style is like many other and in black and white and full portrait but their are other options. Black and white can look distinguished and save on printing costs however. So keep that in mind. Where someone you want to claim as yours in your portrait. If you wear something formal, wear formal everytime you go out. Be recognizable to your audience. Make them see you are down to earth. Authors are probably the least well known celebrity so odds are they won’t even try to remember your face but have an identity as an author in case you are one of the lucky few. Best wishes. Keep writing!
