What your author website should make easy.

Turn a scattered trail of retailer pages and social profiles into one site that belongs to you.

Newsletter signup

Grow a reader list you own with your existing email tool.

About and press

Keep your bio, author photos, and press material ready to send.

Excerpts

Let readers try the first pages of a book on your site before they buy it.

Before they get in touch

What readers check on an author’s website.

Readers, booksellers and event organizers visit an author’s site for different reasons, and each needs to find their answer fast.

  • Your books

    Each book with its cover, a short description and where to buy it.

  • What is next?

    New releases, readings and events, with dates.

  • Who you are

    A short bio and an author photo for interviews and event listings.

  • How to stay in touch

    A newsletter signup and a contact route for publicity and events.

From description to published site

A focused workflow, not another design tool.

Start with the business information you already know. Keep control of what changes and when the site goes live.

01

Describe the business

List your books with buying links, upcoming events, a short bio and where readers can join your list.

02

Review the draft

Inspect the real page structure and ask for specific revisions.

03

Publish when ready

Use a FyneSite address for free or connect your own domain on a paid plan.

Common questions

Before you build.

Should an author website have a page for each book?

A page per book gives each title room for its description, quotes you have permission to use and buying links. With one or two books, sections on one page work too.

Can I link to Bookshop, Amazon or my publisher?

Yes. Add the links in your description and the site places them with each book and format.

Can I add a press page for media and events?

Yes. Ask for a press page with your bio in a short and a long version, photos and a contact for publicity.

Can I start free and change the site later?

Yes. You can build and publish one website on a FyneSite address without a credit card, and change the copy, sections, images or pages by describing what you want. Paid plans add options such as a custom domain with automatic SSL and removing FyneSite branding.

Put your books somewhere that is yours.

Describe what you write and the titles you have published. Review the draft before you choose a plan.
