Are you an author looking to expand your reach and connect with readers? Do you want to establish yourself as a credible and professional writer in your genre? In today’s digital age, having a website is no longer a luxury—it’s a necessity for authors who want to grow their audience and succeed in the competitive world of publishing.

How does it work?

With the same Word Weaver Pro account you use for writing your manuscript, you also have the option to build an author website. In your account settings, you can pick a subdomain that is added to writercafe.me. There are no additional charges for creating an author site with as much content as you want to have. Here is an example we have created: https://jlehman.writercafe.me/

Using the familiar Word Weaver Pro interface that is used for managing all your writing and world-building, you can add Webpages directly in Word Weaver Pro. You can find a tutorial on that here.

Your online hub

Think of your website as the central hub of your online presence. It’s where readers can find you, learn about your work, and connect with you on a deeper level. A website isn’t just a digital business card—it’s a platform to:

  • Showcase your writing
  • Share your story
  • Build a loyal community of fans

Ready to elevate your author brand?

Don’t wait—start building your professional author website today with Word Weaver Pro. Connect with readers, promote your work, and own your platform.

Own your platform

Social media and retail platforms are great—but they’re not yours. Algorithms change, policies shift, and platforms disappear. When you rely on them, you lose control over your audience.

Your email list is gold. Owning it means you decide how to communicate, what to share, and how to build lasting relationships.

Why a website matters

Here’s why having your own site is essential:

  • Establish credibility
    A professional website shows you’re serious about your craft and committed to building your brand.
  • Increase visibility
    Optimize your content for search engines so readers can discover your work easily.
  • Connect with readers
    Share updates, behind-the-scenes insights, and exclusive content to keep readers engaged.
  • Promote your work
    Highlight your books, share excerpts, and make it easy for readers to buy your work.

How to build your list

  • Offer a lead magnet (free short story, guide, or bonus content).
  • Add opt-in forms to your site for newsletter sign-ups.
  • Share exclusive content like character backstories, illustrations, and pronunciation guides.
  • Keep your site fresh—new content improves search rankings and keeps readers coming back.
