What your author website includes

• Your book, front and centre

  Cover, one-line hook and a buy button above the fold, so a reader who heard you on a podcast can order in one click.

• A page for every book

  Summary, praise, awards, translations and links to several retailers, not just a single Amazon listing.

• The research behind the book

  Shows readers and reviewers the body of work your book stands on, which publisher pages never do.

• A press kit journalists can use

  Short and long bio, headshots and topics in one place, so launch coverage uses your words.

• Talks that turn into bookings

  Talk topics, video and an enquiry form, so organisers who read the book can book you straight away.

• Nothing for you to write

  I draft every page from your book, papers and interviews. You read it, mark changes, and approve.

How it works

1. 1

   Free preview

   Tell me about your book. I design two sections of your site, usually the homepage and book page, within 2 working days.

2. 2

   Decide

   If you like the direction, you get a fixed quote. If not, that is the end of it.

3. 3

   Build and write

   I write every page and build the full site, ideally months before launch, so Google has already found it.

4. 4

   Launch and care

   The site goes live on your own domain. With year-round care, new reviews, interviews and events are added within days.
