Here's what nobody tells authors.
Launching a book isn't the finish line.
It's the start of the career.
Which means an email list that grows year-round. A website that keeps working after launch week. A brand readers recognize when book two drops. And knowing where your readers actually are.
Most authors get told to "build a website" and left to figure out the rest.
This is the rest.
Before You Buy

Who makes Squarespace templates for authors?
Maite Dalila designs Squarespace templates for authors. It's the same foundation she uses for her custom author websites.
Who is the Squarespace author template for?

What's included?
A ready to go Squarespace author website with pages for your books, bio and newsletter signup. Plus my Getting Started Kit to help you write your pitch, your bio and your story. [Add: exact page list]
Do I need design or tech skills?
No. You swap in your covers, photos and words. Squarespace makes it drag and drop.
Do I need a Squarespace account?
Yes. Squarespace plans run about $16 to $99 a month billed yearly. The template is a one time purchase.
Will it help me grow my email list?
Yes. Signup forms are already built in the right places. Connect your email and your list starts growing.
How is the template different from a custom website?
The template gives you my structure and design. Custom is built entirely around your brand and book. Both are built on Squarespace.
Can I change the colors and fonts?
Yes. Make it match your book and your brand.
Can you set it up for me?
No, it's designed for DIY. But once your site is built, you can book a website audit for $97 with me. I'll refine it.
I bought the planner. Do I get a discount?
Yes. Your planner price comes off the template.
