Discuss a website

A reader looks up a publishing house to find a specific book, author or series, and a manuscript author does it to learn the terms of cooperation. A website for a publishing house brings together the catalog, author pages and manuscript submission rules and shows where the books can be bought.

  • a catalog by series and genre: cover, blurb, author, format, language, year of publication;
  • an author page with a biography and a list of their books;
  • a section on where to buy: your own store, bookstores, e-book editions;
  • a page for authors: manuscript requirements, publishing stages, a contact form;
  • news about book launches, new editions and excerpts to read;
  • a section for bookstores and libraries with the sales department contact, requests go to Telegram.

Once the website is ready, search and ads bring the clients: SEO and ads for a publishing house.

Who it's for

What a website for a publishing house solves

A customer compares several providers in a few minutes. The website answers their questions before your competitors do and leads to an inquiry.

  • Readers do not know where to buy the book

    A where-to-buy section leads to your own store, bookstores and e-book versions without extra searching.

  • Manuscript authors find the terms unclear

    A page for authors with requirements, publishing stages and a submission form removes long back-and-forth messaging.

  • New titles get lost among others

    A catalog by series and genre and news about book launches put fresh books in a prominent place.

How people search for a publishing house and what they expect from its website

Readers type a book title or author name, and also children's book publisher or buy books from the publisher. Authors search for publish a book and publishing house for authors, and bookstores look for wholesale purchase terms. A website for a publishing house is a catalog of editions plus a cooperation page, where each audience finds its answer.

Trust in a publishing house comes from a neat catalog, clear imprint details, a list of authors and series and a clear procedure for handling manuscripts. A reader checks whether the editions are current, and an author checks whether they can trust the house with their text.

What a website for a publishing house includes

  • a home page with new releases, bestsellers and announcements of book launches;
  • a book card with the cover, blurb, edition details and links to buy;
  • pages for authors, series and translators;
  • a page for authors with requirements and a contact form;
  • a blog or news about events, book launches and new print runs;
  • contacts of the editorial office and sales department and a page about the publishing house.

The pages open quickly on a phone and tablet, your editor adds covers and descriptions of new books in the admin panel, and access to it and the domain belong to the publishing house.

How we create a website for a publishing house

First we define who the website is for: readers, authors, bookstores or all of them together, and we build sections for these groups. From the publishing house we need covers, blurbs, edition details, a list of authors and the terms for working with manuscripts. Then we build the catalog, check the author form and the smartphone display and launch the website. On a ready-made template this takes 3–5 working days after receiving the materials, and we prepare a large catalog in stages.

How much a website for a publishing house costs

A publishing house website on a ready-made template costs from $500. For a large catalog with series, authors and a blog we build a corporate website from $1,350. If the publishing house sells books directly, we add an online store from $500 on Horoshop or WordPress with payment and delivery. We write the cost and timeline into the contract, and the consultation is free. We describe the template website, the corporate format and the bookstore on the pages Template website, Turnkey corporate website and Online store development and launch.

Questions and answers

Can I sell books on a publishing house website?

Yes, there are two options: your own online store with a cart and delivery, or a book card with links to bookstores. You can combine both if the publishing house sells both directly and through partners.

How do I organize the catalog if there are many books?

We form sections by series, genre, author and year of publication, and put new releases and bestsellers on the home page. A reader quickly finds the right category through the menu.

Do I need a page for authors?

Yes, it explains which manuscripts the publishing house considers, how to submit them and what happens next. The publishing terms are set by the contract between the publishing house and the author, and the website only describes how to apply.

Can I publish book excerpts for reading?

Yes, an excerpt is placed as text on the book page. It is best to have the written consent of the author and the rights holder for publication, because copyright applies on a website too.
