The Author Page is where you can show off / promote your work and share information about yourself. On this page you can include a photo of yourself, a bio and… your contents.

Setting up Your Author Page

Your Headshot
First things first—like with any profile—the thing that viewers notice first is your profile picture or headshot.
When considering your headshot, you want to keep it classy but not boring.
And with all headshots, you want it to look professional. A clean, high-quality photo is what you want. No one wants a grainy pixelated photo to represent their brand!

Your Bio
This will be the next most important thing a viewer will see. An author’s bio is the foundation to get their work out there. It’s as much for you as it is for your readers.

Your contents
Then there’s your content that shows what you can do.

Do you want to be known for your unique work? Crafting a good Author Page is one of the essential steps!

Go here to edit/change your profile picture, biography, and social media.

The Thorough File Naming Convention for Contributors

  1. The initials of the Author Name (First name Last name)
    For example, Vivian Maier would have VM initials.
    VM
  2. Write dates back to front.
    State the date ‘back to front’, and use four-digit years, two-digit months, and two-digit days: YYYYMMDD or YYYYMM or YYYY or YYYY-YYYY.
    2022-09-26
  3. Finally, you need to number your photos. Use two digits at the end of their filename.
    01

The file names would look like:
VM-2022-09-26-01.jpg
VM-2022-09-26-02.jpg
VM-2022-08-21-01.jpg

A basic photo captions should:

  • Clearly identify the people and locations that appear in the photo.

Be brief. Most captions are one or two short, declarative sentences.
