Why Every Writer Needs My Author Gallery

 A New Era for Writers 
 

Hi, it’s Rob here from Rob Parnell's Writing Academy.

If you’ve been writing for a while — or even if you’ve only just started — you’ve probably faced the same nagging problem: “How do I get my work seen?”

You can spend months, even years, polishing a manuscript. You can pour your soul into a novel, a memoir, or a short story collection. But when the writing’s done, there’s still that next hurdle: getting noticed.

That’s why I created My Author Gallery — a simple, elegant platform designed to help writers showcase their work, connect with readers, and attract attention from agents and publishers.

It’s not just another website. It’s a community, a portfolio, and a shop window rolled into one.

Why Visibility Matters More Than Ever

The writing world has changed. Traditional publishers are looking for authors who already have a presence. Agents want to know you can reach an audience. Even self-publishing success depends on visibility.

And let’s be honest — posting your work to random Facebook groups or chasing likes on Twitter doesn’t cut it anymore.

You need a professional showcase. Somewhere serious. Somewhere that says: “I’m a writer. Here’s my work. Come and see.”

That’s exactly what My Author Gallery provides (example follows:)

What Is My Author Gallery?

Think of it as a digital gallery wall where writers display their creations.

  • You upload your manuscripts, cover images, and synopses.

  • You add your author bio and photo.

  • You link to your social media and websites.

  • And instantly, you have a professional profile — your very own author showcase.

Better still, it’s not hidden away in a private folder or buried under social posts. It’s a site designed for agents, publishers, and readers to browse and discover new talent.

The Benefits of My Author Gallery

1. A Professional Portfolio

Agents and publishers love writers who look professional. With My Author Gallery, your portfolio is laid out cleanly, clearly, and attractively — no fuss, no tech headaches.

2. Showcase Multiple Works

Whether you’ve got a single novel, a poetry collection, or ten manuscripts waiting for attention, you can display them all. Each manuscript can have its own cover, synopsis, and file upload.

3. Attract Agents and Publishers

We built My Author Gallery with the industry in mind. Agents and publishers can browse, filter, and find new authors quickly. Your work is searchable and accessible in a way that makes discovery easier.

4. Connect With Readers

Readers aren’t just buying books anymore — they’re following writers. By uploading your latest project and synopsis, you give readers a glimpse of what you’re working on right now. It’s a fantastic way to build anticipation.

5. Simple, Elegant, No Tech Skills Needed

Let’s face it: not every writer wants to spend days wrestling with WordPress or tinkering with HTML. My Author Gallery handles all that for you. Just log in, upload, and your profile is live.

6. Tiered Membership Options

  • Basic members can showcase a sample and dip their toes in.

  • Higher tiers allow full manuscripts, multiple works, and extra features.

  • Everyone gets access to the same clean, professional layout.

It’s fair, accessible, and flexible.

More Than Just a Profile: A Community

My Author Gallery isn’t just about display. It’s about connection.

Writers get to see each other’s work. You can share your progress, get inspired, and even collaborate. For many, it’s the first time they’ve felt like they’re part of a writing “scene” that’s both supportive and professional.

Why It’s Perfect for Today’s Writer

In the old days, you’d send a manuscript off and hope someone in publishing read it. These days, the gatekeepers want to know who you are before they even glance at your pages.

That’s why My Author Gallery is a game-changer. It gives you presence. It gives you professionalism. And it shows the world you’re serious about your craft.

A Writer’s Journey with My Author Gallery

Imagine this:

You’ve uploaded your latest novel-in-progress with a cover and synopsis. An agent browses the site, sees your work, and clicks through to your profile. They notice you’ve also uploaded a finished manuscript from last year. They like your bio, they click your social links, they send you a message.

It all starts with being visible. And My Author Gallery makes that possible.

✍️ Final Thought

Being a writer isn’t just about putting words on a page. It’s about getting those words out into the world.

My Author Gallery is your stage, your showcase, your invitation to readers and publishers to step inside your creative world.

If you’ve ever dreamed of being noticed — of your work being discovered by the right people — then this is your chance.

Upload your work. Share your voice. And let the world see the writer you were always meant to be.

Keep Writing!
Rob

Writing - It's All In Your Mind!

Image
  Think on this. Our brains are sophisticated organic computers that work all day long, 24-7, to provide us with a model of the universe in which we may thrive and prosper.  We survive on the basis there is a reality ‘out there’, outside of our bodies, despite this being an illusion created by the mind inside our heads. We live in a mental construct, the outside world being only a reflection of the world we want to see. Therefore, if we want to change our world, we need to change ourselves first. If we crave success, or need to accomplish great things like write a book, or a series of bestselling books, then first we have to fine tune our brains into accepting a new reality: one where we have a better attitude toward our writing, an improved relationship between our beliefs about what is not possible and what is, and an alteration to our self-image that best accommodates a writer’s lifestyle. Essentially, I believe, we are what we want to be. We become what we focu...

The Only Two Rules of Good Writing (That Actually Matter)

Image
Over the years, I’ve been asked the same question again and again. Often in emails from students, sometimes over coffee with friends, and occasionally by strangers at writing events who lean in like they’re about to hear a deep, dark secret. “Rob,” they ask. “What’s the golden rule of good writing?” And my answer is always the same. There are only two. Just two rules you ever need to remember. I know, I know—there’s a whole industry built around rules. Adverbs are bad. Show don’t tell. Use active voice. Kill your darlings. Avoid the passive. Don’t start with weather. Never open with a dream. And for heaven’s sake, don’t end with a twist. But I’m here to tell you: most of those rules are guidelines, not gospel. When it comes to writing that really works—writing that readers devour and publishers pay for—there are only two things you need to get right. Let’s break them down. Rule One: Be Clear This is the big one. This is the hill I will die on. If your writing isn’t clear, no...

Ancient Mysteries and the Art of Timeless Inspiration

Image
  There’s something intoxicating about the unsolved. The unanswered. The ancient . Whether it’s a weatherworn monument, a forgotten artifact, or a half-scorched scroll that no one can decipher, there’s a whisper of eternity behind every mystery the past has left us. And if you’re a writer—especially one prone to the delicious intoxication of story—those whispers are gold . You see, most stories are built around questions. What if? Who did it? How could this be? What happens next? But sometimes, the best stories begin with a question no one has answered in real life. That’s where ancient mysteries come in. They’re like little narrative time bombs, ticking in the background of history, waiting for the right writer to come along and say, “I’ve got it. I know what really happened.” Take the Baghdad Battery , for instance. Discovered in modern-day Iraq, this humble clay jar—housing a copper tube and an iron rod—dates back over two thousand years. Add vinegar or lemon juice, and presto...
