A signature line
is a great promotion tool for the writer, but it needs to be a
carefully honed workhorse. It needs to speak for you when you're
constrained by good manners and list rules from speaking your
mind. It should contain the basics: your name, website URL,
contact email, and the title of your book. Depending on list
rules, it can also contain review or book snippets.
What it shouldn't
be is a novel. Keep it simple, something that can be quickly
digested by the casual observer. Everything else goes on your
website or blog.
