The Importance of Building an Email List for Authors

Building an email list is crucial for authors as it allows them to connect and build relationships with their readers over time. Unlike social media, an email list provides a direct line of communication that authors own and control, ensuring access to their audience regardless of external platforms. Having an email list not only keeps authors top of mind for readers but also serves as a long-term safety net for their author career, especially in the event of changes in publishing partnerships.
