Well, here we are. Your book is out in the world (or almost), and now you want people to actually read it.
That means book sales, an email list full of readers counting down to your next release, and real buzz around your launch. Because you've got big things ahead of you.
But you started all this to be an author, not a marketer.
So let's build your readers an online world worth wandering into. One that sells the books and grows your list while you get back to writing. The only thing left to stress about is writer's block.
Your website isn't optional. It's part of the reader journey.
Big congratulations on writing that book. The hard part is over... right?? Grab this free checklist to make sure readers can instantly find your books, know where to buy them, and stay connected with you.
Debut author or a whole backlist deep, there's a website built for where you are right now.
Not ready for a full build? Start with a Website Roadmap or a one-page Author Website Starter.
For debut authors getting ready to share their first book.
A polished home for your book, your email list, and every place readers can buy.
For authors promoting a new release.
A site built for launch day and beyond, with a book or series page, email signup, and clear paths that turn curious visitors into readers.
For authors with multiple books, a series, or events and press to share.
Room for your whole backlist, plus everything else readers want to follow along with.
A reader will turn the last page, sit there a little wrecked, and then immediately go hunting for more.
Where they land next matters. And a lot of author websites just... exist. No welcome, no path, no reason to stay.
I'm a website designer with a reader's heart and an oldest-daughter "hand me the clipboard" personality. I build author sites that catch readers in that hand-grab moment and give them somewhere to go: start here, binge the backlist, join the email list, buy the books. Stylish with a spine, and no sending your readers off to the dark corners of the internet.
You wrote the book. You did the hard thing. Let me build the place it deserves to live.
hey author, I'm Kate
Every genre is welcome here.
Memoirs, murders, or meet-cutes. Whatever you write, we'll build a home that holds it.
