An Author Obsession
Turn Casual Romance Readers into Obsessed Fans
An Author Obsession is a free guide to help Romance authors craft unforgettable front and back matter that transforms your book into the perfect breeding ground for reader obsession.
You’ve written a romance that readers will swoon over for generations—now let’s make sure those readers fall in love with you, the author, so they follow you and everything you write from this moment forward.
This free guide walks you through exactly how to structure your book’s front and back matter to create emotional connection, build long-term fans, and (without feeling salesy) guide your readers to their next favorite book—yours.
If you’ve ever wondered what pages to include, how to write them, or how to gently market without turning readers off, this guide is for you.
Want a Taster?
Here are three quick tips you can run with immediately, but will be explored in more depth within the guide:
- Your “About the Author” should never read like a LinkedIn bio. If you write cinnamon roll book boyfriends, don’t author speak to our readers like a government memo. Let your bio wink, smolder, or spill tea—whatever fits your book’s vibe.
- The “Also by” isn’t optional. It’s your slow-burn sequel hook. Your reader just devoured +/-80,000 words and wants more. If you don’t tell them what to read next, you’re basically ghosting a hot date.
- The era of “Sign up for my newsletter,” is long gone. Nobody wants to subscribe to a mystery void. Offer something irresistible—a bonus epilogue, a spicy deleted scene, character playlists, awkward author bloopers—just don’t be boring. Boring is a book killer.
