Your audience · Your sales · Your story
This is what owning your platform looks like.
Genre-specific author websites with built-in marketing — fully managed, fully yours. You write the books. We build the platform that puts them in front of readers.
Fully managed. From day one.
We handle everything.
Most platforms hand you a login and say “good luck.” We’re different. Every plan is fully managed — we build, host, update, and grow your site for you.
Because you became an author to write — not to fight with technology.
The problem
The Indie Author Tax
You didn't become a writer to wrestle with WordPress plugins, fight with page builders, or spend weekends Googling "how to add a buy button."
But that's where most indie authors end up:
Paying the tax — not in dollars, but in hours. Hours spent on tech instead of writing. Hours lost to tools that don't talk to each other. Hours wasted on a website that still doesn't look like you.
You shouldn't have to choose between writing your next book and having a website that sells the last one.
Everything you need.
Nothing you don't.
We replaced the Frankenstein stack with one managed platform built for selling books.
We build your author platform. You never touch code.
You became an author to write stories, not code. Skip the frustrating builders. Send us your bio, your book covers, and your brand colors — we'll engineer a premium, genre-specific website ready to launch. Want control later? Our intuitive editor lets you make updates in seconds.

See Plans & Pricing →What makes this different from Wix or Squarespace?
We’re not a generic website builder. Every template, feature, and tool is built specifically for authors. You get genre-specific designs, book & series pages, email marketing, and event calendars — plus fully managed hosting so you never worry about the tech.
I'm not tech-savvy. Can I really do this?
That’s exactly who we built this for. Our drag-and-drop builder requires zero coding. And if you’d rather not touch it at all, our White Glove Setup team will build your entire site for you.
Can I transfer my existing website?
Absolutely. Our White Glove service includes full migration from any platform (Wix, Squarespace, WordPress, etc.). We handle everything.
Is there a contract? Can I cancel anytime?
No contracts. Cancel anytime. Monthly plans are month-to-month. Annual plans save you money and can be refunded pro-rata.
Why does it cost more than Wix or Squarespace?
Because you’re not buying software — you’re hiring a team. Wix gives you a login and good luck. We design, build, host, update, and grow your site for you. The math: a freelance web designer charges $75–150/hour. Your build works out to a fraction of that, and you never spend a single hour learning website tech. Your time goes to writing books.
Can you migrate my existing website?
Yes. If you already have an author site, we move your content, set up redirects so you don’t lose your Google rankings, and rebuild it on your new genre design system — all part of the build.
Who updates my site after it goes live?
You can make simple changes yourself, and there is always a real person to ask when you get stuck. If you would rather we handled your new books, blog posts and reviews for you, we offer that as an optional extra. Just ask and we will set it up.
"Working with My Indie Author Site transformed my online presence completely. I went from a generic template that didn't represent me at all, to a stunning author website that matches my brand and actually helps sell my books. The whole process was effortless."
