Author Promotion: Image is Everything

Submitted by gracepub on March 26, 2007 - 10:20pm.

One of the most overlooked aspects of an author's life is their image. Too many authors hide behind their computer and let the world pass them by. However today, book readers buy authors - not books.

That means, if you want to sell a lot of your books, then you need to get out in the world and sell yourself. However - you need to know what the readers expect you to look like.

The good news: You don't need to be beautiful.

The bad news: You need to look the part.

A well coffered hairstyle and properly applied makeup are as important as a beautiful outfit. One of the most important aspect of makeup are the Makeup Mirrors. If you've ever wondered why your expensive makeup never looks as good on you as it does in the glamor magazines is the mirror.

Start preparing now. Take a look at authors in your genre. See whether they dress for beautiful, glamor, dress down, or just casual.
