Author website template
For writers: your books with buy links, upcoming events, a short bio, press kit and a newsletter sign-up.
Works best as a single page. The one-page version is on the $9 Single Page plan; the multi-page version needs the $19 Business plan. Both prices are a month, paid yearly.
Who it is for
Novelists, nonfiction authors, poets, illustrators and journalists with a book out or on the way.
The demo business
R. M. Ellery, novelist. Every word is editable, and the sample text gives you a strong first draft to adapt.

Questions
Can I use this template as a one-page site?
Yes. Every template has a one-page and a multi-page version, and you can switch between them without losing anything.
Can I change the colors, fonts and photos?
Yes. Pick your brand color, choose from the font pairings that suit the layout, and replace every photo with your own.
Is the sample text included?
Yes. It is written for a business like R. M. Ellery, so most owners only need to change names, prices and details. Never publish the sample phone numbers or prices as your own.
How much does it cost to use this template?
Templates are included in every plan. Single Page is $9 a month paid yearly and Business, with unlimited pages, is $19 a month paid yearly.
