An author website that works as hard as the book
Readers, journalists, booksellers and event organisers all look for one thing first: your website. It should be easy to find, quick to read and simple for you to update.
What an author website includes
- Home page with your current book and a clear call to buy
- Books page with retailer links for every edition
- About the author page and press-ready biography
- Media kit: photos, cover images, synopsis, sample questions
- Reader mailing list signup
- Blog or news section
- Events and appearances
- Contact form
- Mobile-first, fast and accessible
- Search-engine friendly structure
- Simple editing so you can update it yourself
- Analytics so you know who is visiting
Built around the book, not the template
An author site is part of the book's design system: the same typography, colour and tone as the cover carry through to the screen. It is also the one platform you own outright, unaffected by algorithm changes on social media or a retailer's decisions. Every site is delivered with a walkthrough so you can add news, events and new books without calling us.
Common questions
Do I need a website if I am on social media?
Social platforms are rented; a website is owned. It is also where media and booksellers look for verified information, and the only place you can collect a reader list you control.
Can you build a website for a single book rather than an author?
Yes. Book websites work well for non-fiction, business books and campaigns with a fixed launch.
