For publishers
Give the whole list a stronger digital shelf
Create a distinct, book-first home for every author while your team manages access, billing, launches, and catalogs from one organization.
One operational home for the roster
Bring author sites, team access, and subscription management into one organization workspace.
A distinct identity for every author
Each author gets a separate site, catalog, domain, and publishing voice within the shared organization.
Built for the life of the list
Support debuts, active launches, series, evergreen titles, press, and direct sales from the same catalog data.
Central where it helps
Shared operations without a one-size-fits-all front end
Readers see an author site shaped around the work. Your publishing team sees a roster with clear ownership and one place to manage the infrastructure behind it.
01
Create the organization
Set up shared billing and invite the people responsible for the list.
02
Add each author
Give every author an independent profile, catalog, site structure, and access boundary.
03
Publish and keep moving
Coordinate releases, press, audience growth, and performance without flattening every author into one brand.
Frequently asked questions
Do I need any technical skills to set up my site?
No. Choose a template, add your books and bio, and publish. AuthorPad handles hosting, domains, and updates.
Can I sell books directly through my AuthorPad site?
Yes. Connect Stripe to sell editions and merchandise from your site, or send readers to the retailer links you already use.
What happens to my existing mailing list?
You can bring in existing subscribers, capture new readers on your site, send broadcasts, and export your list when needed.
Can a publisher or agency manage multiple author sites?
Yes. Organization workspaces bring multiple author sites, billing, and team access together while keeping each author’s site separate.
Can I use my own domain?
Yes. You can connect a domain you already own, verify its DNS from your workspace, and serve the finished site securely.
