Author Website
Your website is the one place you control. Reviewers, organizers, and readers look you up before they reply, and a clear site gives them what they need in a minute.
The problem this addresses
Many author sites are out of date, hard to use on a phone, or missing the basics a reviewer or event organizer looks for.
Pages on a publisher’s site, a university profile, or a retailer belong to someone else and can change or disappear.
Who it suits
- Authors who have no website, or only a single page or social profile.
- Authors whose current site is dated, hard to update, or does not present the book clearly.
- Authors preparing a launch who want a home to link to from every pitch and profile.
What is included
- Site plan and page structure agreed with you before design begins
- Design and build on a standard, easy-to-maintain platform
- Book pages with accurate descriptions and links to every retailer
- Author biography, photo, and a press page with downloadable materials
- Newsletter sign-up and a contact form or email link

Questions about author website
Who owns the website and domain?
You do. The domain and hosting are registered in your name, so you keep the site whatever happens to our working relationship.
Will a new website increase my sales?
We cannot promise that. A clear site makes it easier for readers, reviewers, and organizers to find the right information, which supports the rest of your campaign.
