Your author microsite in 30 minutes

You do not need a separate website builder. Author Direct gives you a branded microsite on your profile URL or custom domain.

Quick setup checklist

1. Profile — photo, bio, genres, social links
2. Microsite — pick a theme, upload a hero image, write headline copy
3. Pages — add Speaking, FAQ, or Media kit from templates
4. Products — list books and events; submit for marketplace when ready
5. Funnel — newsletter signup linked from your hero and footer

Page templates worth adding

• About (extended) if your homepage blurb is short
• Book club guide with discussion questions
• Media kit before festival season

Enable your microsite under Microsite → Publish, then preview at /authors/your-slug.
