N.L. LaFoille (nllafoille) | 21 comments I want to keep it simple--I don't want it to be a huge paragraph, but I want people to know my published title and the most important avenues to find me.

What does your email signature look like?


Tara Woods Turner If you're available on multiple sites you could always use your goodreads author page link.

G.G. (ggatcheson) | 2491 comments I have nothing but -GG in my signature.
I don't see why I should bug everyone with my links. If they want it or need it I will add it in the message, otherwise, I see it just as if I'd be whacking: Hey follow me, hey buy my book, hey I want to snoop on your wall friend me! I just can't...but that's just me.

I wanted to include a widget to the books I had reviewed, instead of an actual signature, but I haven't figured out how to do that. I don't even remember what i have as a signature anymore.

Christina McMullen (cmcmullen) On my author email I just have my name, title (sci-fi & fantasy author), and a link to my Amazon author page. The main thing is as GG says above, that this is not the same account I use for non author emails. I'm sure friends and family would be annoyed if they had to be reminded of my career choice every time I had a cat video to share.

On the SIAFBB account we have the event team, event website, and the #SupportIndieAuthors tag.

I use separate emails as well. I have a personal email that i use for job applications, signing up for coupons at target walmart etc, and stuff like that. and then I have another separate email for anything related to my writing, like Goodreads and my website. My personal email signature is just my name, but my author email signature has my name, email, and a link to my website.


Tara Woods Turner I've never made a distinction between accounts but I guess I have no need to. But I can say the signature has gotten me some sales!

Amanda Siegrist (amandasiegrist) | 190 comments I have two separate emails. One private and one for my author account.

On my author account under my name I have my website, Twitter, FB, and Amazon author page as my signature.
