Rebranding the Author Brand: "Let Your Imagination Take Flight"
Last week I blogged about what the author brand is and shared some examples of logos and taglines I found for other authors online. I mentioned that I was trying to figure out the core element of MY brand. Why I write, who I am, what my books are about ... and these were the things that came to mind:
escaping reality imagination without limits breaking free from real-world constraints unforgettable characters
I initially wanted my tagline to be this:

The Author Brand: What It Is and Some Examples
I've been told about this author branding thing for years. I've even tried to do it. Sort of.
