Free Author Websites for Writers

How much does HostingAuthors cost?

You can start with the free New Author plan and publish one book page without a credit card. Paid plans add more books, author hub features, custom domain support, mailing list tools, and direct bookstore features. The current prices are always shown on the Pricing page.

What happens after I create an account?

You enter your author or book details, add a cover and links, and publish a reader-facing page. The AI Webmaster can help draft copy and shape the site, while you can edit details from the author portal whenever you need to update a title, review, link, or bio.

Is HostingAuthors a good fit if I only have one book?

Yes. A single book page is often the right starting point for a launch, preorder, media appearance, reader magnet, or back-matter link. If you add more titles later, paid plans let the site grow into a fuller author hub.

Is HostingAuthors useful for authors with a backlist or series?

Yes. Authors with multiple books can organize titles under one author hub, give each book its own page, connect series or related titles, and send readers to retailer links or a direct bookstore when available on their plan.

How quickly can my author website be online?

Most authors can publish a basic page in minutes once they have a book title, description, cover, and buy links. More polished pages take longer only because you may want to refine your bio, reviews, FAQs, media links, and signup offer.

What do I actually get when I publish a page?

You get a hosted public author or book page with the sections readers expect: book details, cover, description, author information, buy links, reviews, FAQs, social or media links, and reader signup options depending on your plan.

Do I own my book content and author brand?

Yes. HostingAuthors hosts and presents your author-site content, but your books, cover art rights, author name, brand, and uploaded copy remain yours. You are responsible for having the rights to anything you upload.

What is the next step if I am ready?

Create a free account, publish your first book page, then upgrade only when you need more books, custom domain support, author hub features, direct sales tools, or broader platform features.
