How to Build an Author Website
Free Workshop for Writers
A free workshop for writers who want a website that works.
Your author website doesn't have to be complicated, expensive, or take you away from the writing you actually want to do.
In this free 30-minute workshop, I'll walk you through the essentials of building an author website, from figuring out what belongs on the page to making sure your site looks professional, represents your author brand, and gives readers an easy way to find you.
In this workshop, you'll learn:
When to start your website
Whether you're querying, preparing for publication, or already published.
Your Brand
And how your genre, personality, and ideal reader can influence your website's design.
What Goes On It
Including your bio, author photo, books, blog or writing, social media, contact information, and newsletter.
Website Structure
So visitors see the most important information first instead of having to hunt for it.
The technical stuff
Including mobile-friendliness, SEO, domains, hosting, and making sure your website is set up properly.
About Me
I'm Emily Rae, a writer and the creator of The Writer's Website!
I've built hundreds of websites for businesses across different industries, and I created The Writer's Website to bring that experience specifically to authors. I know how easy it is to feel like you'd rather spend your limited creative time writing than figuring out domains, templates, SEO, and website layouts.
This workshop is designed to make the process feel a whole lot less overwhelming. Your website should support your writing career, not become another full-time job.
