Free Website-Building Service

Get a free website built for you with our SiteExpress service. All you have to do is fill out a brief form.

Site Express is the Authors Guild’s website-building service for members. Site Express normally costs $150 but is free for new members for a limited time.

With our Site Express service, you simply fill out a brief form with information such as your biography and a description of your works. We’ll show you a draft of your new website in about one week. It’s that easy. The website will be up to eight pages, including book cover images (where available), an author photo, links to online bookstores, and a listing of any upcoming events. Pages include a home page (your biography), a bibliography page listing up to three works, a page devoted to each of up to three works, a separate events page, and a contact form page. You’re free to add more later through Sitebuilder’s easy editing interface.

You pay nothing up front. After reviewing your site, if you like what you see, then you may activate your account and submit one round of edits at no additional charge. The $12 per month hosting charge begins to apply only on activation of your account. If you’d like a personalized domain name (www.myname.com, www.mybooktitle.net, etc.), we can reserve it for you for $18 per year. New members also receive one complimentary year of domain name registration.

This service is not available with a student membership.
