I publish several e-books on major online stores and now want to turn scattered titles into a coherent author brand. The first step is a dedicated website that feels unmistakably “me.” It needs a clean Home page, an About the Author section, an always-up-to-date Bookstore that links to each retailer, and a blog where I can share fresh content, main ideas from each book, and even post thoughtful criticism or behind-the-scenes notes. If WordPress, Squarespace, or another platform makes more sense than a fully custom build, please tell me why; what matters is that I can update text and add new releases without calling a developer every time. Once the site is live, I want at least one solid, professional review in a recognised book-review magazine. I’ll rely on you for outreach strategy, pitch materials, and handling submission guidelines so the review lands in a publication with genuine readership rather than a pay-to-play blog. Finally, I need a smart advertising and distribution plan that moves the needle on sales—think metadata tweaks, retailer-specific promos, newsletter swaps, and targeted social ads rather than generic boosts. Please show me how each tactic fits into an overall timeline and where my budget will be most effective. Deliverables • Responsive author website with Blog, Bookstore, and About pages live on my domain • Confirmed placement of at least one magazine review, with tear sheet or link for verification • 90-day marketing roadmap detailing campaigns, channels, and measurable targets If you can cover all three areas—site build, review placement, and promotional roadmap—let’s talk next steps.
