Frequently asked questions
How much does it cost?
BookBub’s free author website builder costs nothing — there’s no upfront fee, no ongoing subscription cost, and no credit card required to host your website, collect email addresses, and send up to 1,000 emails per month. If you want access to enhanced website and email tools, you can upgrade to Pro for $9.99/month. You can read the full details on the Author Websites pricing page.
Can I use my own domain name, or do I need to buy one?
You can connect a custom domain you already own (yoursite.com) for no additional cost. If you want to register a new domain through Author Websites, you can do that for $15 per year.
Do I need to know how to code to build my website?
No, Author Websites is designed to help authors spend less time building and managing their website and more time writing. Authors can use our no-coding design tools to create a professional-looking site in less than 15 minutes.
Can I send emails to my readers from my website?
Yes, when you create a free site with Author Websites, you can create an email collection form to start building your email list. You can also send up to 1,000 emails per month to your mailing list without any charge. (If you want to send more than 1,000 emails, you can upgrade to Pro.)
