For many aspiring writers, the idea of an author photo is an abstract concept. Why worry about a photo when the manuscript is still being considered for a sale? Or when the manuscript is still being written?
I understand the initial disconnect, but an author's platform is, essentially, the person's public impression. Platform is what (and who) you bring to the table. Expertise, connections, experience, qualifications, history--it's the fill in the blank ending to "Oh Shonna, she's the author who writes about_____." As a platform is being constructed, savvy authors include images in this process. If a book or article is published, most likely it will include an author photo. Quirky or serious, readers want a face with a name. And considering that this image will be a permanent glimpse, I advocate taking care to find a photograph that resonates and represents you well. This is the image that will accompany signage, book jackets, websites, and press releases. Advice: Spend some time getting the right author photo(s). (If you live in the southern Maine area, I highly recommend Rob and Shelbylyn Subia at Port City Photography.) 11/10/2014 04:04:24 pm
Everybody knows that education prepares you for what's to come. It makes you learn the techniques and tools that tomorrow you will require. So we should encourage or rouse individuals to get them educated and master these skills and tools. 12/8/2014 02:18:57 pm
Yes i completely agree with it. The idea of author photo is essential in any book, as it symbolizes the face of the beautiful story who has written and most of the people really look for the author picture before reading any book, including me. Any ways it's a glorious post pal. 12/8/2014 08:44:08 pm

How right you are. Author photo is important because there would be readers who would be curious to know the talented person behind the books they read. Personally, even before I read the first page of a book I look at the end to see if there is an author photo and I read the little blurb they wrote about the author too. Nice to know they're background a little. 7/21/2015 12:48:36 am
