: Re: What should I include (and not include) on a book's website? I'm building a dedicated WordPress website for my (in-progress) graphic novel. My first thought was that I'd have an artist's blog

I eagerly await the answers to your question.

There are several levels of information to include.

You'll want to include the meat of what you are creating: Through IRL groups and feedback, I've been asked to include character sketches, maps, short stories, and real science that forms the basis of the story.
You'll want to include a real person 'persona': A blog is evidently important. One marketer who presented to our group said that you can blog falsehoods, which is ... remarkable advice. She said that the goal is to grow the fanbase and so if a trip to an exotic destination does that, who cares if it's real? I am not advocating that approach. You want some sort of contact functionality. An interactive section seems like a good idea (the blog may serve this purpose.)
You'll want to include great window dressing: You want the artwork to be top of the line.
You'll want to include "inter-webbing stuff": You want to connect to your other social media (at least some of it.) You want commercial functionality, in other words visitors should be able to buy your book easily on your site or with a click to a linked site.

That's all I know so far and all that I've observed on well-executed sites.
