Reading is to a writer what exercise is to an athlete. 📚

Here are 5 resons why you should read more: 1. It makes you a better writer 2. You get ideas by reading 3. You learn story structure 4. You improve your language 5. It makes you more empathic

The reason why reading makes you a better writer is because everything you read influences what you write. And the more you read, the more you learn about the art of writing. You can learn different techniques from other writers, like how to do world building from J.K. Rowling, or how to write thrilling stories from Dan Brown. 

And I am going to debunk some of the most common excuses I hear about why people say that they don't read as much as they would like to.

An author brand is your identity as a writer, it is the way people see and perceive you online. It includes the type of books you write, the way you write, your book cover, font, the way your website and social media looks. It will evolve over time as you grow as a writer. By creating an authentic brand you establish a deep emotional connection to your future readers. Even if you haven’t published a book yet you can still start building you brand and connect with readers as fellow human beings.

What we are going to talk about in todays episode:

• What is an author brand?
• Why your should start building one today (even if you’re not published)
• Ways to build an author brand
• Social media
• Write a blog
