An author photo is a key piece in your author marketing toolkit, there are a whole lot of reasons to get it right.

Author photos build credibility, help you connect with readers and are a key tool you can use to win media coverage.

- how you can use your author photo across multiple mediums to build your credibility, confidence and community.
