Writing a great book is only the beginning step in your career as an author – to truly succeed you need to connect yourself to your readers. MyeBook is here to help you with your Marketing and PR needs.
We help you set up your author website and author pages on retail sites, as well on social and literature sites to ensure your readers can connect with you to grow your readership. We also give you a media kit for your promotions and communications.
Custom Author Landing Pages / Websites
Choose from three templates that will be fully customised according to your profile, genre, colour choice and more. Your website will showcase your author biography, PR information, blog, reader testimonials, book page(s) and links to buy. Alternatively choose a simple Landing Page that will showcase your book(s).

Customers will find your landing page or website primarily due to your marketing efforts.
