Launch your author brand with a professionally built website—designed to showcase your books and grow your audience.

  1. What’s included?
    A fully customized author website with up to five pages, one year of secure hosting and domain registration, ongoing maintenance, eCommerce functionality with automated order fulfillment and sales tracking via your Author Dashboard, and a streamlined setup process with a dedicated web designer. Once your site is live, you’ll have your own admin login to easily make edits to text, images, and more.

  2. How is this different from building a site on my own?
    We handle all the setup, design, and fulfillment, including direct book sales, secure hosting, updates, and maintenance. Plus, if you’re a Gatekeeper author, all of your publishing and marketing assets are already in-house, making the process seamless, efficient, and fully integrated.

  3. How long does it take?
    We build your site while working on your book, and it typically takes only 1-2 weeks to complete once we’ve received your approval of your cover design. This means your site will be ready to launch well ahead of your release date.

  4. Are there monthly or annual fees?
    After the first year, hosting is $29/month, billed annually, which is less than $0.96 a day. Includes secure hosting, maintenance, and your custom domain.

  5. How are earnings calculated when I sell books through my website?
    When a customer buys your book through your website, we route the order to our third-party printing partner who handles production and shipping. To cover this end-to-end fulfillment, the earnings you receive are calculated as follows:

                 Retail price
                    − $1 Gatekeeper fulfillment fee
                    − $3.50 printer handling fee
                    − Actual printing cost of the book
                    = Your net earnings 

All sales are reflected in your Author Dashboard, and payouts are made just like any other retail sale.
