5 Creative Content Ideas for Authors
Seasonal Activity
Choose one of your favorite seasonal activities to share with your audience. Is it summer? Talk about how much you love lounging by the pool. Autumn? Post about how you can’t wait to go apple picking.
For bonus points, link your favorite activity to your writing, whether it’s a way for you to find inspiration, jumpstart your creativity, or sneak in some research.
Photo to include: You participating in the activity or a stock photo that relates to your seasonal activity.
Monthly Holiday
What are you celebrating this month? If it’s June, share a post about Father’s Day. October? Put up some Halloween inspiration! Monthly holidays are an easy way for others to connect with your content.
Photo to include: You celebrating the holiday! With your dad or in a Halloween costume.
Favorite Children’s Book
Get nostalgic with a throwback to your favorite book from when you were a kid. Talk about why you loved it so much, how you got interested in reading, or a memory you have related to the book.
Photo to include: You as a child or the cover of the book.
Work-in-Progress Struggle
Everyone struggles, so this is an easy way to connect! Open up about something that’s been hard when it comes to your current work-in-progress. If you’ve solved the problem or overcome the challenge, share what’s worked for you!
Photo to include: Your desk or laptop with a document open
Character Bio
This one is fun! Write a bio for one of your characters and share your inspiration for creating the character. What do you love about them? What do you find challenging?
Photo to include: Picture of the person who would play that character in a TV show or movie
