Launch your author brand with a professionally built website—designed to showcase your books and grow your audience.
- What’s included?
- Author website with up to five customized pages
- Seamless eCommerce functionality & order fulfillment with sales tracking.
- One year of secure hosting and domain registration.
- Ongoing maintenance.
- Streamlined setup 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.
- Note: Your author website will highlight you and your books. We do not build or manage pages for unrelated businesses or products.
- 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. - 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. Note: - 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. - 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.
