Creating an Author Website Mini-Course

Set up your own author website and know exactly what to put on it, even if technology makes you nervous.

You know your book needs a home online. But you open a website builder, see a dozen templates and a page full of settings, and close the tab. Which builder should you use? What pages do you need? Do you even need a site yet?

This mini-course walks you through it step by step: when you actually need a website, which builder to use, how to set it up, and what to do with it before and after your book comes out. You'll see real children's book author websites along the way, so you can picture what yours could look like.
