What an author website needs

  • Your books, with covers, short descriptions and buy links
  • A newsletter signup, front and center
  • An author bio in a short and a long version
  • Readings, signings and other events
  • A media kit with headshots and an interview contact
  • Reader extras: excerpts, discussion questions, series order

Updating your author site around a book launch

A launch comes with a pile of small changes. A typical month around release: preorder links added, the cover reveal, new event dates, a podcast interview linked.

Between books it gets quieter, maybe one or two changes a month. Either way, you describe the change, we send a preview, and you tap Approve. You keep writing.

Which plan fits an author

  • One Page, $69 a month: a debut author with one book. Book, bio, newsletter and contact on one page.
  • Standard, $99 a month: Books, About, Events, Media Kit and Contact, with your domain included.
  • Plus, $149 a month: up to 10 pages and a blog. Good for a long series where each book gets its own page, or for authors who post regularly.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Something else? Email hello@skoshsites.com.

Can you add a newsletter signup?

Yes. We add the signup form from the newsletter service you use, so new readers go straight onto your list.

Should my site use my name or my book title?

Your name, in most cases. Books come and go, but your name carries across all of them.

Can I sell signed copies through the site?

A link to a store or a payment page is easy. A full online store is quoted separately.

I write under a pen name. Can the site use it?

Yes. The site can use your pen name throughout. The domain is still registered to you, so it stays yours.

Do I need a blog?

Only if you want to write one. Many authors put that energy into a newsletter instead. Plus includes a blog, and on other plans blog setup is $250.
