“I sell a lot of ebooks from my website and encourage authors to set up their own stores.”
– Michael A. Stackpole, American science fiction and fantasy author best known for his Star Wars and BattleTech books
Our website designer, Sam Baja, wants to work with memoir writers to help create an inviting website for you as a new author. On our member calls, we hear feelings of overwhelm and worry about the whole website/blog project, which as authors we are all “supposed” to take care of long before our book is done. We decided to help you out on this with a reasonably priced package that can help you solve this problem.
I have worked with Sam for ten years here at NAMW–she was our first designer! For a time, she had another job, but now is back offering her amazing design services for us here at NAMW and just redesigned our site. Have you seen it yet? www.namw.org Take a look!
Basic price for everything, including web hosting, domain name registration, building the website, and monthly maintenance for a year: $1800. You will be hosted through NAMW, and your site protected by all the powerful tools we use for our website.
You would sign up through NAMW, and work directly with Sam to design your website needs and create a web home for your writing life. As you know from all the teleseminars you’ve attended at NAMW, creating your home base as a writer is a priority, so we want to help you with it!
As long as you are an NAMW member, you will receive discounted rates for your website maintenance. Once you sign up, you will be referred directly to Sam to talk over your details. Click on the button below to sign up for this special NAMW offering.
