About
Build a digital home that you own, supporting you to become visible, recognisable, and discoverable.
Here are two statements that I believe to be true:
you do not need a platform or a large following to get a publishing deal
you do need an online home to have long-term success as a writer
We live in a world where so much of our time — and our readers’ time — is spent online. Readers search for upcoming releases, read reviews, follow their favourite authors, photograph books, write about books, and create stories inspired by the books they love. The digital ecosystem is part of the reading experience now.
It is never too early to start building a home for your writing — a place where your future readers can find you, learn about you, and connect with your work.
Having an online platform is not about broadcasting. It’s about creating conversations and building a community of people who will support you on your publishing journey. It’s about creating a space for you to connect with your future readers - and they connect with you.
Owning an online space for your writing is imperative because it becomes the most trusted source for your future readers. Social media platforms are borrowed spaces — wonderful, useful, but ultimately outside your control.
Imagine if your favourite social media platform put up a paywall or disappeared overnight. Everything you had built there would vanish with it.
Main Character Energy supports you to tell your story, your way, and extend your creative ecosystem into the digital space without performance or pressure.

writers who want clarity on what to share, how to show up, and how to connect with future readers
-
building an online space that feels authentic, intentional, and sustainable
developing clarity around your online identity and how you want to be known
learning how to become discoverable without performing or chasing algorithms
creating a long‑term foundation for your writing career

-
you’re looking for overnight growth, hacks, or follower‑count strategies
you want someone to manage your social media or build an audience for you
you’re hoping for a formula or prescriptive posting schedule
you’re not ready to think about visibility, discoverability, or author identity
you want a purely marketing‑driven approach rather than a values‑led one

Additional Costs
There are one‑off and ongoing costs associated with owning online spaces that are required for all Main Character Energy tiers and are managed directly by you — things like your domain name, Squarespace subscription, and any optional third‑party tools or integrations you choose to use. These fees ensure your website stays live, secure, and fully functional.
By proceeding with your purchase, you acknowledge and accept that these external costs are separate from the fee charged by Debut Books, and that some will require ongoing maintenance to keep your website active.
