Let’s talk about building community with your readers. 💬📚
One of the most meaningful (and often overlooked) parts of being an author isn’t just selling books. . . it’s building connection. Readers who feel seen and valued don’t just read one book, they stick around!
Building community doesn’t have to be complicated or overwhelming. It can start small:
- Replying to reader emails or DMs
- Asking questions in your newsletter
- Sharing behind-the-scenes moments of your writing life
- Creating a space (like a Facebook group, Discord, or newsletter replies) where readers can interact with you and each other
Community grows through consistency and genuine care, not perfection or constant selling.
👉 How do you currently connect with your readers?
Or if you’re just starting out, what’s one way you’d like to build more connection?
