Total cost - ziltch-o. Later I looked at the pictures of the top writers in my genre. Mine was as good or better.

It's finding time to do it without the kids photo-bombing me that is the issue. :)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01052604405996474436noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-786399098429164064.post-30925235399388468132013-10-23T11:48:26.840-07:002013-10-23T11:48:26.840-07:00And you look fabulous!And you look fabulous!Alyssa Auchhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11519148869409762857noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-786399098429164064.post-79803424836595948902013-10-23T11:46:26.975-07:002013-10-23T11:46:26.975-07:00I'm so glad you found it helpful!

I'd already had pictures taken - they were part of my wedding pictures and with a bit of a crop here and there, I found several great - well great as a picture can be for me that is - one I plan to use.<br /><br />But this isn't one of those - hey get a good photo blogs, you gave some really great tips - very impressed. <br /><br />Are you okay with me sharing this??<br /><br /><br />AndyAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11525265583701105510noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-786399098429164064.post-52048973720748877432013-10-23T10:14:30.338-07:002013-10-23T10:14:30.338-07:00Exactly right!

As long as its clean and clear, and semi-professional, its all good. The point, in my opinion, is to look like we're professional, published authors, and those authors who were picked up by big names usually have a tasteful picture to go along with their books and website. I wish appearances didn't matter, but if I've learned something about marketing, they really do.
