Novelist Pages

Welcome to the show. Today we’re looking at Novelist Pages, a SaaS platform designed to help independent and self-published authors create professional websites for their books. If you’ve ever wanted one polished place to send readers—somewhere they can discover your work, find out who you are, and see where to buy your books—this kind of tool may be worth a closer look.

For many authors, building a website can feel like taking on a second job. There’s the design, the pages to write, and the ongoing question of what readers should see first. Novelist Pages focuses on that author-specific need: creating a landing site for your books without having to start with a blank canvas or piece together a general-purpose website. The goal is a professional home for your author brand and your stories.

One of the main advantages is the ability to bring multiple books together in one place. Instead of relying on a single retailer profile or scattering links across social media, an author can create a dedicated destination for readers. That can make it easier to present a series, highlight an individual title, and guide visitors toward the next step—whether that’s learning more about a book or finding a bookstore that carries it.

The platform offers a free tier, which gives authors a way to get started before committing to a monthly subscription. Paid plans range from $9 to $29 per month, with higher tiers unlocking additional features. Depending on the plan, that can mean support for more books, a custom domain, or tools for expanding the site beyond basic book pages. It’s a simple pricing structure to consider: start with what you need now, then move up if your catalog or audience grows.

Those extra features are where novelist pages can become more than a digital business card. Paid tiers can add a blog or podcast, giving authors a place to share updates, discuss their work, or offer readers a closer look at their creative process. Bookstore and mailing-list options can also help connect the site to the wider reader journey. A website can introduce a book; a mailing list can give interested visitors a way to hear from you again.

Of course, a website doesn’t automatically bring in readers. Authors still need to share it, keep its information current, and decide what they want visitors to do. A useful first step is to make the essentials easy to find: book descriptions, reading order for a series, author information, and purchase links. If you add a blog or podcast, choose a realistic schedule. A small, well-maintained site can be more effective than a sprawling one that’s hard to update.

So, who might benefit most? Independent authors who want a professional online home, especially those managing several titles or building a direct relationship with readers, may appreciate having these pieces gathered in one platform. The free tier makes it possible to explore the basics, while the $9-to-$29 monthly plans offer room to grow into more features.

Novelist Pages is built around a straightforward idea: authors deserve a clear, welcoming place to showcase their books. If you’re ready to create one, begin with the essentials, choose the tier that fits your current needs, and let the site grow alongside your writing career.
