Many successful
authors have websites that are the hub of their online marketing activity —
they provide a central platform for everything from blogging to book sales and
email newsletters. But what should you include in an author website?
We’ve compiled 45
stellar examples to give you some ideas. These sites can provide inspiration
for any authors or publishers looking to launch or redesign an author website.
When reviewing author
websites to include in this list, we followed the guidelines in our article about
nine author website trends you need to know about.
To appear on this list of examples, sites had to meet most, if not all, of the
following criteria:
- Include a list of published books
- Prominently display new or impending releases
- Provide an obvious way to subscribe for updates
- Provide a way to contact the author
- Include links to the author’s social media profiles
- Display a list of upcoming events
- Include a blog to showcase the author’s personality and/or writing process
- Be easy to navigate
- Have a clean, unique design
- Be mobile friendly
We’ve made sure to
include both traditional and self-published authors, along with a variety of
styles and genres, so everyone can find some inspiration.
