Tell your stories. We’ll help you attract your readers.
Whether you write novels, comics, memoirs, nonfiction, children’s books, or poetry, author branding is an essential part of building your writing career.
But most authors are unaware of how to evaluate their personal brand, define their ideal readers and how to use that information to create a consistent and effective marketing plan.
How do you stand out? What should you post? How do you build an author brand that reflects your work? And how do you turn that into a plan that converts book sales?
The Author Hook by Dirk Hooper gives you an outside perspective, a personal consultation, and a detailed plan built around your writing, your unique brand, your audience, and your goals.
You’re writing books you believe in, but struggling to get attention.
You’re posting on social media without seeing much engagement.
You’re unsure who your ideal readers are or how to reach them.
Your website, author profiles, and promotional materials don’t feel connected.
You write in multiple genres or under different pen names and need a clear strategy.
You have several books available, but your marketing is inconsistent.
You don’t know what’s working well and what needs more attention.
Social media, marketing, design, and everything else confuses or frustrates you and you need a simple effective plan.
You’ve been around a while and you need a reset, but you don’t know where to start.
I’ll help you understand what’s working, identify what needs attention, and develop practical ways to present your work and connect with readers.
Whether you’re working toward your first release or strengthening an established career, this service starts with where you are and where you want to go.
A romance novelist, a business writer, and a comic creator will have different audiences. Your marketing should reflect those differences.
We’ll explore what makes your work distinctive, who your readers are, and how to communicate with them effectively.
That might mean emphasizing the emotional promise of your romance novels, the worlds behind your fantasy series, the expertise in your nonfiction, or the characters and visual storytelling in your comics. We’ll find out what makes your writing unique and then use that to make you STAND OUT.
Your brand should help readers understand your voice, explain why you’re different from everyone else (and you are), and help make you memorable when they’re searching for their next read.
You’ve invested imagination, craft, and many lonely hours in your writing. You need a thoughtful plan for you to your audience.

I’ll evaluate your online presence, including your author website, social media accounts, author profiles, and the platforms you use to sell your books and other creations.
I’ll look at how you present yourself, the design and blurbs on your books, how you engage with readers, how your reader funnel works, your mailing list, or other ways you communicate with readers.
You’ll receive specific feedback on your strengths, missed opportunities, and areas that could be clearer or more effective. The goal is to help you make better use of the presence you already have and identify how to improve things in the future.
You’ll get an hour or more of one-on-one consultation video consultation with me, Dirk Hooper. Some consultations run for three hours of questions, discussion and ideas.
We’ll discuss your writing, your audience, your current marketing efforts, and your ambitions. I’ll ask questions about your author brand, the challenges you’re facing, and what success looks like to you.
Then we’ll review what I discovered during your online assessment, explore possible strategies, and make time for your questions.
Whether you need help finding your direction, presenting multiple pen names, generating promotional ideas, or making your marketing more manageable, this conversation is built around your needs.
