Who it is for

You know this character better than anyone.

  • Your draft is finished and you do not know what to post
  • You are revising and want content that does not spoil the plot
  • You are writing the last act and want posts ready for launch

One question, one post

Here is how one answer becomes a post.

The question

What does your character do on an ordinary Tuesday morning?

From section eight, Their ordinary Tuesday.

Your answer

She opens the bakery at five and eats the first burnt roll herself.

One line. You already knew it. It never made the book.

The post

A photo of a burnt roll and one sentence about who eats it.

Readers meet her before they ever open chapter one.

Who made this

Hi, I’m Raewyn.

I’m a book marketing strategist and social media educator. I teach indie authors to run their own accounts, because social media works better when the author is the one being social.

I’m Creative Director of Women in Publishing and creator of Instagram for Authors.

Your character already has the answers.
