Why Authors Need a Website

In today’s digital world, your website is often the first introduction readers have to your work. It’s more than just a platform to list your books — it’s your personal hub for engaging with fans, sharing updates, and building a lasting connection with your audience. A well-designed website can:

Showcase Your Books with dedicated pages for each title

  • Engage Readers through blogs, newsletters, and social media integration

  • Promote Events & Book Launches with a professional events page

  • Capture Email Subscribers to keep your audience updated on new releases and promotions

  • Enhance Your SEO to help readers discover your work organically

"I have been working with Marketing Authors for several years, and it is an unqualified joy. They built me a wonderfully functional website to which they add content whenever necessary and support my social media work. They are a delight to work with, creative, engaging and professional."
