You wouldn't believe that after being in front of a camera as many times as I have (when I was an actress) that I'd be nervous, but I was.
Madalyn Morgan’s Author Biography Video – and Book Trailers
I thought
about making a video biography for my author page on Amazon when Foxden Acres
was published in February 2012, and again this year when Applause was published
in April. But you know how it is? Good ideas are often put on the back burner
when you’re busy. Then, at the September
chapter meeting and lunch of the LRNA in Leicester, Lizzie Lamb introduced
Sarah Houldcroft of Authors Uncovered. Sarah
gave me her card and I looked AU up when I got home.
“Authors
Uncovered, the place where authors and booklovers can connect, read, write and
share.” http://www.authors-uncovered.com/
Sarah has been
working as a virtual assistant for authors helping them promote their books
online. She said authors do not want to
spend time marketing their books they want to write the next book. Isn’t that the truth? Sarah is not an author, she is a prolific
reader and booklover and as such, she is uniquely placed to know what readers
and authors want.
From what
Sarah says on the website – and the annual fee being reasonable, I decided to go
with AU and made my video. And that’s another story. Having had a weekend of problems with my
computer, I recorded it on my camera. I
had to go with the first rehearsal because I broke the camera. It’s true. Lips and words would not synchronize after the
first take. Anyway, now it’s done, I
shall link it to my Amazon author page with a written biography.
