Plan and post with ease—without starting from scratch.
Are you an indie or self-published author struggling to keep up with social media? These Autumn themed Canva templates take the guesswork out of what to post and help you show up consistently, professionally, and with confidence.
This download includes two fully customizable Canva templates designed specifically for the fall season for authors who want to grow their audience and promote their books without hiring a designer:
📐 Square Format (1080x1080) — Perfect for Instagram, Facebook, and other grid-based feeds
📏 Portrait Format (1080x1350) — Ideal for catching attention with vertical posts on Instagram, Threads, and Pinterest
These templates include text placeholders, design prompts, and some layout ideas tailored for authors. Use them to share quotes from your book, promote your latest release, announce events or signings, and connect with readers in a branded, visually appealing way.
🎁 BONUS: Weekly Social Media Posting Calendar
You’ll also receive a free digital planning calendar to help you organize your content across Instagram, Facebook, TikTok, Threads, and X. It includes space to map out your posts, keep track of ideas, and plan engaging content that builds your platform over time.
Whether you’re just starting out or want to polish your author brand, this toolkit helps you take the overwhelm out of content creation—so you can focus more on writing and connecting with your audience.

These are the same tools I use to plan, post, and grow my own author presence.
