I'd love to see a place where if an author reaches a significant milestone it's added to their profile.
For example:
- Topping a significant and meaningful list,
- Award for their book or as an author,
- Million copies sold,
- top 100 (overall) on Amazon etc (ie not just Amazon best seller list but more than that) that it gets a mention and place on our profiles.
- Foreign rights deal
- Book tour confirmed...
Books count!
I was talking with a major event planner for associations last month, who arranged more than 100 events in Australia each year, and she only books speakers based on their books now as a means of selection.
