If you want to regularly share written updates or other information on your website, you can add a Blog or Updates page.
Blog
A blog lets you add long-form written content to your website. As an author, there are many benefits to having a blog on your website:
- Keep readers engaged between releases by sharing writing updates
- Share book research or other behind-the-scenes content for fans who want to know more about your work
- Help readers get to know you better by writing about your personal life, your pets, books you’re enjoying, or your hobbies
- Boost your website’s SEO by writing content related to your genre or other keywords
