Social Media Content creation 

A Deep, Personal Service From The Author Bureau

Your social media should not feel like a chore. It should feel like a place where readers connect with you, your books, and your world. At The Author Bureau, we don’t just “post for you.” We build a consistent, on-brand content strategy that saves you time, engages your audience, and supports your book launches and long-term career.

This is not a generic “content calendar” service. We create content that feels like you—your voice, your style, your story—while still being strategic and effective.

What This Service Includes

1. Social Media Strategy & Platform Selection

Not every platform is right for every author. We help you focus where you’ll get the best results.

• Assess your goals: more readers, more email signups, more brand visibility, etc.

• Identify your ideal readers and where they spend time online

• Choose the right platforms for you (e.g. Instagram, TikTok, LinkedIn, Facebook, YouTube, Twitter)

• Define your role on each platform: community builder, educator, storyteller, entertainer, etc.

• Set simple, realistic targets (e.g. followers, engagement, signups)

Result: You have a clear, focused social strategy instead of trying to do everything everywhere.

2. Brand-Aligned Content Planning

We create content that fits your brand and books, not random posts that don’t connect.

• Build a content theme plan: what topics you’ll cover and why

• Decide on content pillars (e.g. book updates, behind-the-scenes, reader engagement, expertise/insights)

• Map out a posting rhythm that fits your life and launch schedule

• Align your tone and visuals with your author brand and website

• Create a simple content calendar you can use even after our work ends

Result: Every post feels intentional and part of your bigger story, not random noise.

3. Content Creation: Captions, Posts & Stories

We write and design the actual content so you don’t have to stare at a blank page.

Depending on your needs, we create:

• Captions & Post Text
  Engaging, on-brand captions that tell a story, ask questions, or invite interaction.

• Short Social Updates
  Simple, friendly posts for announcements, quotes, behind-the-scenes, and quick thoughts.

• Story Content
  Ideas and scripts for Instagram Stories, TikTok, or Reels that feel natural and fun.

• Engagement Posts
  Polls, questions, and call-to-action posts that encourage comments and shares.

All content matches your voice, genre, and brand, and is written to be you—just more polished.

4. Visual Content Design

Great social content needs strong visuals. We create images and templates that look professional.

We can design:

• Book-related graphics
  Cover shots, quote graphics, launch announcements, and preorder promos.

• Simple templates
  Reusable layouts for quotes, updates, and events so your feed looks consistent.

• Story visuals
  Backgrounds, overlays, and text for Stories and short videos.

• Basic video edits
  Short clips with captions, branding, and simple transitions.

All visuals use your brand colours, fonts, and style, so your feed feels cohesive.

5. Short-Form Video & Reels Support

Short videos are powerful, but they can feel overwhelming. We help you use them without stress.

• Suggest video ideas that fit your genre and audience (e.g. scene reads, character POV, day-in-the-life)

• Create simple scripts or outlines so you know what to say and how to film

• Provide guidance on trends, pacing, and hooks that work for books

• Edit or suggest edits for your clips (captions, text overlays, basic transitions)

• Help you plan a realistic video schedule that doesn’t overwhelm you

Result: You get the reach and engagement of short videos without feeling like a full-time creator.

6. Community Engagement & Interaction

Social media is about connection, not just posting. We help you engage in a way that feels natural.

• Suggest how to respond to comments and messages in your voice

• Create a plan for joining conversations in your niche (groups, comments, threads)

• Help you interact with readers, other authors, and influencers authentically

• Track which types of engagement lead to more followers, signups, or sales

• Adjust your approach based on what builds real relationships

Result: You build a community that feels connected to you, not just a list of numbers.

7. Launch & Campaign Content

We create special content for launches, promotions, and key moments.

• Build a content plan for your launch week (countdowns, teasers, reminders, live posts)

• Design promo graphics and videos for preorders, sales, and new releases

• Write announcements for email, social, and blog that work together

• Create “behind-the-launch” content that makes readers feel part of the journey

• Plan follow-up content after launch to keep momentum going

Result: Your launches feel bigger and more supported, and you get more traction without extra stress.

8. Reporting, Insights & Adjustments

We track what’s working and adjust your strategy so you always improve.

• Monitor key metrics: followers, engagement, click-throughs, signups

• Identify which posts and formats perform best

• Share simple reports with clear insights (what’s working, what to tweak)

• Suggest changes to your content plan based on data

• Help you refine your approach over time as your audience grows

Result: Your social presence gets stronger and more effective, not just “more active.”

How We Work With You

This is a collaborative, personal process, not a generic service.

• We Listen First
  We start by understanding your books, your voice, and your goals before we create anything.

• We Make It Feel Like You
  Your content should reflect your personality and style, not a template.

• We Keep It Simple
  You’ll get clear plans and content that you can use or adapt, even after our work ends.
