Build Your Author Brand Like a Novel
Your worksheet.
Your take-home from the workshop. Fill it in and you’ll walk away with the raw material for a month of posts — not your life story, your fingerprints.
Your answers save automatically in this browser, so you can leave and come back to this page anytime. They only live on this one device, though — when you’re done, tap “Copy my worksheet” at the bottom to paste them somewhere you’ll keep (a doc, a note, an email to yourself).
Start here
Start with your reader.
Marketing is where your world meets theirs. So before your own pieces, name who you’re writing toward — genre is the fastest door in.
Your reader
What you think your readers love to feel
Anything else your readers come for? Add it.
Things they might also be drawn to
The ordinary stuff your readers gravitate toward — the same things that probably live in your own day. Add your own.
Part one
Find your pieces.
Six places you already build a world from. You’re not inventing a brand — you’re noticing what’s already there. One of Emily’s in each, as a nudge.
A set to react to — keep what fits, edit or delete the rest.
Part two
Make a post yours.
Take an ordinary author post. Pull in one piece of you from Part One — and watch the version only you could write start to form. Then edit it until it sounds like you.
What makes it yoursA feeling your reader recognizes · a hint that you see the world the way they do · a small promise of more. If it carries those three, it’s working.
The check you keep
Can a stranger find bits of the world they’re drawn to in your posts?
