Maybe you\u2019re getting ready to publish your series starter. Or you might be a published author looking to build your own platform. Our answer to the question of when you should have your own author\u2019s page is always the same: Now.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We strongly recommend establishing yourself as an author ASAP. Before your first book is published, if possible. The reason is that you want to start building your online presence early. If you can grow even a small following before your first publication, you\u2019re going to make more sales sooner.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">But maybe you don\u2019t have the time or budget to launch a custom website. That\u2019s alright. There are still a few things you can do to make creating your author\u2019s page easier when the time comes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Contents:<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><a href=\"#securing\">Securing your domain<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"#linking\">Linking your domain<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"#building\">Building your author\u2019s page<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"#maintaining\">Maintaining your author website<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"#expanding\">Expanding your platform<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"securing\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Securing your domain name<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The very first thing you need to do is to buy your domain name. Even if you\u2019re nowhere near ready to start building your author\u2019s page, secure your domain. You don\u2019t need to pay for web hosting or a professional design at this point (we always recommend it, but if your budget doesn\u2019t allow for that, don\u2019t worry). Simply go to a domain registrar like GoDaddy or NameCheap and buy your site\u2019s web address.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">What should that URL be? We always recommend your first and last name or pen name. It\u2019s the easiest way to find an author. For instance, you\u2019ve got jamespatterson.com, brandonsanderson.com, judybloom.com, and so on. A dot-com extension is ideal because it\u2019s the most common and most widely assumed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Use the name you intend to write under, exactly as it appears on your books. If your publish under J.A. Smith, register jasmith.com, not johnadamsmith.com. Generally, we don\u2019t advise using hyphens to separate the different parts of your name. There are exceptions, though. If you\u2019re publishing under the name A.S. Swarovski, you might not want to risk someone reading asswarovski.com as Ass Warovski. Of course, if you run into a situation like that before publishing, you might want to consider choosing a different name.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center wp-block-paragraph\">(We\u2019re working on a blog about choosing a marketable pen name. If that\u2019s something you\u2019re interested in, sign up for our mailing list so you\u2019ll know as soon as it\u2019s available.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons is-content-justification-center is-layout-flex wp-container-core-buttons-is-layout-3e41869c wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link wp-element-button\" href=\"https:\/\/we-are-seven.kit.com\/d84b8f8f77\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Mailing List Sign-Up<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What to do if your domain name is already taken<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Let\u2019s say firstnamelastname.com isn\u2019t available. You\u2019ve got several viable options. This is one of the above-mentioned times when you could try firstname-lastname.com. You could also opt for a different domain extension, such as .me. We recommend avoiding other common extensions, such as .net or .org for your author\u2019s page. These extensions are most commonly used for tech corporations and nonprofit organizations respectively, so it could lead to some confusion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You could also try firstnamelastname<strong>author<\/strong> or something similar, particularly if you share a name with someone famous. For instance, Maggie Smith (whose <a href=\"https:\/\/substack.com\/@maggiesmithpoet\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Substack <\/a>says, &#8220;Not the dame, the other one,&#8221; uses maggiesmithpoet.com. Since her Wikipedia page is titled &#8220;Maggie Smith (poet),&#8221; that makes good sense.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"linking\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">What to do after you\u2019ve got your author\u2019s page domain name<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As we said earlier, you don\u2019t have to build your author website right away. It&#8217;s fine to leave your domain &#8220;parked,&#8221; or unattached to a website. But we don&#8217;t recommend it. Why? Because there&#8217;s no sense having a parked domain when it could be doing some work for you. You can attach your domain to any free web host provider and quickly create a single author\u2019s page with some basic, web-safe information. It doesn\u2019t need to be pretty, it just needs to exist.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You can also point your domain name at a Substack account. That will let you blog without worrying about website infrastructure at all. And, if your Substack becomes successful, you can use it as your author&#8217;s page in perpetuity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">So, with that said\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"building\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">When <em>should <\/em>you build your author\u2019s page?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you\u2019re working on your first publication, that\u2019s when you should start working on your author website. One of the things prospective publishers will look at when considering your manuscript is what kind of following you have. This is true for small and large presses alike. If you plan to self-publish, then your book marketing will depend on your following.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We suggest building an author\u2019s page as soon as you have social media accounts set up. That way you can start getting your domain name out there. Make sure you link back to your author website on all your accounts. Think of your domain name as your business card. You want to start leaving it everywhere.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What can you do on social media without a publication?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Of course, this begs the question of how to build a following without a published book. Consider\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Posting updates about your writing and editing process<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Sharing images of your cover art concepts<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Quoting lines from your unpublished novel<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Discussing your favorite authors, books, and series<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The ultimate goal is to establish your brand and writing persona, not just to sell your work directly. We\u2019ll go over how you can build a following before getting published again in the future. So be sure to follow us on social media to stay up to date!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-social-links is-layout-flex wp-block-social-links-is-layout-flex\"><li class=\"wp-social-link

screen-reader-text\">Pinterest<\/span><\/a><\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"maintaining\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">What to do with your author\u2019s page once you have it<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Your author website has a few jobs. It should be the first website fans find when they search your name. Not your Amazon page, not your Goodreads profile\u2014your own website. The site you control should be the site people access first. That way, no matter what happens with your books on any given platform, you\u2019ll still have a direct link to current and future fans.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">But how do you outrank Amazon?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It\u2019s not too difficult in this situation. All you need to do is optimize your website for your name or pen name. The title of your homepage should be your name. The meta data should include your name. The content should mention your name in the headings and paragraphs multiple times. As long as the name you publish under is relatively unique, it won\u2019t take long for your website to be the top result.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In order to maintain good search rankings, you\u2019ll want to update your author\u2019s page a few times a year. Be sure to keep all information up to date and accurate. That means maintaining a list of your available works and linking to press releases. Aside from that, you don\u2019t need to do much once your author website is live.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you have a blog, you should make regular entries. Otherwise, you can rely on your social media accounts to maintain an online presence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"expanding\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">When you\u2019re ready to expand your author\u2019s page to a full platform<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">While that\u2019s the minimum you need to do to maintain an active, functional author website, you can go beyond. Brandon Sanderson\u2019s site (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.brandonsanderson.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">brandonsanderson.com<\/a>) is the most current and comprehensive source for information about the writer and his work anywhere on the internet. Fans can see up-to-date progress on his current projects, find links to the latest news articles about him, and see all of his works in various editions. Clearly, you won\u2019t have quite as much press to share as one of the world\u2019s most popular and prolific fantasy writers when you\u2019re just starting out. But you can still offer exclusive information. And, as your following grows, you can follow in Sanderson\u2019s footsteps.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Turning your starter author\u2019s page into a full-fledged online platform is easy. As long as you\u2019ve got a solid foundation, you can add widgets (such as your own progress meters) and pages (such as News or Events pages). Of course, when you have a good budget, you can also choose to completely overhaul your old author\u2019s page.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For more information on how to build and build out your author website, check out the following blogs:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-media-text is-stacked-on-mobile has-background\" style=\"background-color:#fdf7ed87;grid-template-columns:33% auto\"><figure class=\"wp-block-media-text__media\"><a href=\"https:\/\/weareseven.com\/blog\/2026\/08\/24\/wordpress-for-authors\/\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"717\" src=\"https:\/\/weareseven.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/kaboompics-woman-791185_1920-1024x717.jpg\" alt=\"WordPress for Authors: Build a High-Converting Site | Woman typing on laptop keyboard.\" class=\"wp-image-273 size-full\" srcset=\"https:\/\/weareseven.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/kaboompics-woman-791185_1920-1024x717.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/weareseven.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/kaboompics-woman-791185_1920-300x210.jpg 300w, https:\/\/weareseven.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/kaboompics-woman-791185_1920-768x538.jpg 768w, https:\/\/weareseven.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/kaboompics-woman-791185_1920.jpg 1280w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><\/figure><div class=\"wp-block-media-text__content\">\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><a href=\"https:\/\/weareseven.com\/blog\/2026\/08\/24\/wordpress-for-authors\/\">WordPress for Authors: Build a High-Converting Site<\/a><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As an author, you need direct access to your audience.
