Struggling with your author website?
You’re happy putting pen to paper (or fingers to keyboard) and creating imaginative worlds and colourful characters.
But … thinking about your author website gives you the shivers.
Or you keep putting off working on your webpages because something else always seems to take priority.
Or maybe your book sales have dried up (or never flowed in the first place). You know if you improved your author website, you’d be more visible to your ideal readers.
But you don’t know where to start.
If this sounds familiar, my website mentoring for authors could be the key to getting your book sales (back) on track.
Meet your mentor
I’ve worked in the world of web and online marketing for 20 years.
I’m putting the finishing touches to my own novel and am a freelance editor and proofreader. I’m a Partner Member of the Alliance of Independent Authors (ALLi) and a Professional Member of the Chartered Institute of Editing and Proofreading (CIEP)
I’m also the author of Improve Your Author Website and Improve Your Editor Website.
As my mentee, you’re in safe hands.
What you get
My author website mentoring service is carefully tailored to your requirements, no matter your level of web expertise.
I’ll help you capitalise on your strengths and give you lots of actionable advice on how to improve your author website. You’ll come away feeling energised and clear on how to move forward.
I will shape the sessions around your needs and goals for our time together, whether minutes, weeks or months.
Most popular package
The package that most authors choose is two web-mentoring sessions comprising three steps:
- I dedicate 1–2 hours (before we speak) to delving into your site on desktop and mobile, working out how you can improve it to increase traffic and attract readers, and deducing how you can best showcase your work. This also includes elements of SEO, accessibility and usability.
- We meet for an hour over video or phone (or, if you prefer, I can pre-record a video detailing my feedback, or send organised notes in the form of a report), during which we work through your site systematically while I give you practical, easy-to-follow advice on how to improve it.
- We have a second video/phone call for an hour (or follow-up pre-recorded video or document, if you prefer) once you’ve implemented my feedback (this can be days, weeks or months later!), to go over your changes, answer your questions, and tie up any loose ends.
Much of the content of these sessions is bespoke, evergreen advice that you can apply immediately and that will stand you in good stead for years to come. By improving your website, you’ll attract more readers and make more sales.
The cost of this two-session package is £200 (or equivalent amount in the currency of your choice), payable in advance of the first session.
N.B. If you would like a video/phone call AND a detailed report, there is a supplemental fee of £30 to cover the time it takes to prepare the document.
