Tips

What makes a good headshot for authors

  1. Match the mood of your genre: warm and bright for non-fiction, moodier for thrillers.
  2. A reading room, library or plain backdrop keeps it timeless.
  3. Ask your publisher for the size they need. The 4K version on Pro and Executive covers most print uses.
