Author Website
Whether you are just starting your writing journey, or have been in the business for a while, having a professional and effective online central ‘hub’ for your creative work has become essential.
Build your platform. Engage your fans. Sell more books.
Author Website
No longer just a fancy, static, online business card, a website is an author’s ‘homebase‘ – a marketing and networking hub and portal that allows communication to flow between an author and his or her readers.
Visiting an author’s website is one of the leading ways that book readers support and get to know their favourite authors better. The stronger the relationship, the more likely zealous advocates will spread the word about the author to friends, family, and peers. And website visits can translate directly into books sold.
