Websites for Authors

Questions & Answers

Do you, as an author, need a website?
Perhaps, it depends on whether you want people to be able to find you. Not random people, you can sort of depend on social media for that. A website is for people who have heard of you or who you have met.

Say you have recently participated in a book signing or art fair event. It is very common for someone who attended to want to reach you. If they lost your card or flyer, they may very well resort to google and, they will search on your name.

Go ahead and try searching on your name and see what your potential customer will find. If you have your own website, at least they will find the genuine you, and how to reach you.

Is an authors website expensive?
Just as with self-publishing there are options, lots of them. Some are very expensive. They don't have to be. The service I offer is very affordable and includes a domain name and hosting.
