Having your own Web site is a great way to maximize your book's exposure in the marketplace. But if you're not a technical expert, how do you develop a site that won't drain your marketing budget? iUniverse has the answer! For only $299 and a monthly hosting/customer support fee of $29, you can promote your book with your very own customized Web site.

Offered in partnership with American Author, our Author Web Site service enables even the least computer-savvy individuals to set up their own Web site with easy-to-use templates, numerous graphics, a wide variety of background colors and helpful e-mail and telephone support. If you can use a computer, then you can create a Web site with a personal touch that truly represents you and your book.

 

My friends and business acquaintances were truly overwhelmed and impressed by my Web site. In fact, they asked if it cost me a fortune. My friends were also surprised by how easily I'm able to edit and add new text—especially considering my lack of technical ability! My Web site is the ultimate in professionalism. I wish I'd saved all the comments and accolades I've received so far. "Wow," "very impressive," and "dynamic" are just a few!

Set-Up Cost and Hosting Fee

For a set-up fee of only $299, you'll receive all of the features mentioned above to create and maintain your Web site. In addition to this fee, you'll be responsible for a monthly site hosting and customer support fee of $29 payable to American Author for as long as you want your Web site to be available on the Internet. You won't be charged monthly fees until your book is published and your Web site is live, and you can cancel at any time by contacting American Author directly.

Here's How It Works

  1. Purchase the Author Web Site service directly from iUniverse and receive the additional benefits of Web pages pre-loaded with your book's cover, back cover promotional copy, author bio, ISBN and retail price. You may purchase the service at the same time you buy your publishing package, or if you've already published a book with us, simply log into your myUniverse account and purchase the service as an upgrade to your current title(s).
  2. Within two business days, representatives from American Author will contact you via e-mail and telephone to introduce you to their service, set up your account and help you get started. They'll also direct you to various free resources designed to help you create an attractive and effective Web site, including online videos, Webinars and a Learning Center.
  3. When your book has completed the publishing process, iUniverse will send your cover graphic, back cover promotional copy, author bio, price and ISBN to American Author. American Author will use this basic information to set up a Web site that you can customize using various graphics and templates. If you have published more than one title with iUniverse, we'll send information for all of your books to American Author for inclusion on your Web site at no extra charge.
  4. You'll be able to change your Web site's appearance and add new content for as long as you subscribe to American Author's services by paying the $29 per month hosting/customer support fee. If at any time, you choose to cancel, you may do so by contacting American Author directly.
  5. Enjoy having your own customized, professional Author Web Site!

* Author will also be responsible for a $29 monthly hosting/customer support fee payable to American Author after the Web site is up and running.
