Collection: Squarespace Templates for Authors
An author website has three jobs: sell the current book, grow the mailing list, and give media and event organisers what they need. The templates in this collection were chosen because they handle all three without clutter.

When curating this collection we looked at how each template presents a book cover and buy links, whether newsletter sign-up sits naturally above the fold, how a backlist can be organised as the catalogue grows, and whether press kit and events pages fit the structure. Typography mattered too, because a writer's site should read beautifully. Every template runs on Squarespace 7.1 with Fluid Engine, so a new release page takes an afternoon, not a developer.
Whether you write fiction, non-fiction, or children's books, these designs from established Squarespace creators give your work the shelf presence it deserves online. Filter by style to find a design that suits your genre, from literary minimal to commercial and bold.
