Stop wondering what to post.
If you're an author, you've probably thought:
"I know I should be on social media… but I have no idea what to say."
You're not alone.
Many authors feel uncomfortable promoting themselves, struggle to stay consistent, or spend hours creating content that never reaches the right readers.
The truth is, social media isn't about constantly selling your books. It's about telling your story, building genuine relationships, and creating a community that wants to follow your writing journey.
That's exactly what you'll learn inside The Author Social Media Accelerator.
Created by Alicia Boemi, Author & Entrepreneur
Hi, I'm Alicia Boemi, founder of Izzy Works Media, a social media storytelling agency that helps authors, small businesses, and organizations build meaningful online communities through strategic, authentic content. I also own Lakeside Books, an independent bookstore, and have written and published two children's books and am a traditionally published poet.
As a lifelong book lover and marketing professional, I've seen firsthand how powerful social media can be when it's approached with intention, not overwhelm.
I created this course because too many talented authors believe they have to become influencers to sell books. You don't. You need a strategy that works for you.

A sneak peek inside
This six-module course is designed to help you build a social media presence that feels authentic, manageable, and effective — without taking time away from your writing.
Module 1: Discover Your Author Identity
Every successful social media strategy begins with knowing who you are and who you're writing for. You'll define your author brand, uncover your unique voice, identify your ideal readers, and create a foundation that will guide everything you post.
Module 2: Choose the Right Platforms
You don't have to be everywhere. We'll explore Instagram, Facebook, TikTok, LinkedIn, Threads, and Substack to help you determine where your readers are and which platforms deserve your time and energy.
Module 3: Know Exactly What to Post
You'll learn how to create engaging content that informs, entertains, inspires, and naturally promotes your books — without sounding overly promotional. You'll build content pillars and learn a simple storytelling framework you can use again and again.
Module 4: Create Content Without Burnout
You'll discover how to batch-create a month's worth of content in just one afternoon using tools like Canva and CapCut, along with time-saving workflows and practical tips that keep you consistent.
Module 5: Grow an Engaged Community
Learn how to build genuine relationships with readers, collaborate with other authors and creators, prepare for book launches, and understand the metrics that truly matter.
Module 6: Build a Long-Term Strategy
You'll create a sustainable social media plan that supports your writing career for years to come — planning content months in advance, adapting your strategy as your career grows, and building an audience with every book you publish.

"We have a very busy book design and self-publishing business and maintaining consistent social media had been placed on the back-burner. Working with Alicia and Izzy Works has been a breath of fresh air. Her detail audit of my existing feeds and the recommendations for my future strategies was extremely helpful for future planning. We've now developed a much better overall plan for our social media going forward and we're excited about implementation."
