Having
an author photograph on the cover of your book helps establish a human connection that can really sell your book.
All author photographs from Goodreads.
Include book titles,
author photograph, and links to where they can be bought.
Long interviews, given
an author photograph, at least one book cover with the blurb and a buy link, making them longer still, rarely hold attention, and are less likely to be shared.
The warm emotional color of
the authored photographs contrasts dramatically with the cool distant appearance of the appropriated ones.
