Create my author portfolio

What are the steps to creating an author/writer website?

You can, of course, add to your portfolio as inspiration strikes, but we want to save you time with the following suggestions:

  • Identify what you want to prioritize on your homepage and opt for Heading 1 format to optimize your search engine ranking. If you're listed in different categories, we recommend creating a separate page for each activity. Write an introduction that includes your education, experiences, qualifications, and aspirations.
  • Define the names of your photo galleries in advance and carefully select the images that best represent your work. When adding your photos (easy with drag and drop), don't forget to include a title and description to maximize your visibility.
  • List your active social networks and add them to our interface.
  • Create as many pages as you like. Most actors registered on Book.fr use pages for their videos and professional experiences. The contact and comment sections are added by default, but you can disable them if needed. Also, consider creating partner pages to highlight your collaborators, such as directors or makeup/hair stylists.
