There are three things you'll need when having a book published: an author bio, a blurb and an author headshot. As much as readers love to read your words, they're also going to be curious about what you look like, and your author photo can say a lot about you.


I looked into having a professional take my author photo, but I find it hard to relax in front of someone taking my picture! I end up tight lipped and looking slightly deranged.

I've worked out a cheap and easy way to take a professional looking author headshot with just my iPhone, s self-timer app and editing software. I've put together an ebook on how to take your own author headshot in 8 easy steps. 

The ebook also includes 7 easy steps to edit your photos to come up with one favourite author headshot that you'll actually be proud of.

This how to guide is quick and easy to follow and will teach you how to take lots of photos quickly, change and mix up poses, and then select your favourite ones.

It will talk about how to present yourself (literary and serious, or fun and frivolous), how to find the perfect light and look your best.

Pose like no one is watching and optimise your author photos
The trick to getting the perfect author headshot is to take a lot of photos all at once and to change up your pose. In my how to take your own author headshot ebook, I explain how to use a self-timer to take tonnes of photos of yourself in different poses in minutes.


You can then choose your favourite photos and edit them using my 7 steps for editing to come up with the perfect author headshot.
