Web Wednesday – Do I Really Need A Website?

So you’re a writer and everything you’ve heard lately at writers workshops and conferences  indicates that you should have a website.  Really?  Do you REALLY need one?   Yes. 

Here’s why: 

  • It helps you to establish yourself as a legitimate writer
  • It’s a place to post your biography
  • It makes it easy for your to connect with people
  • You can showcase your work
  • It’s a great place to practice your craft
  • It allows you to create your own “brand”; you are unique
  • You can sell your product
  • The internet is text based and made for writing; you’re a writer-so get to work

Here are a few BC authors that use their websites to showcase their work:
