Author website
Your own place on the internet.
Your site may include Home, About, Books, individual book pages, Reviews, News, Events, Media / Press, Newsletter sign-up and Contact. It is professionally designed, works on every screen size, has SEO foundations, sits on a domain you own, captures mailing-list sign-ups and is ready for future books.
A website does not guarantee traffic. It gives readers somewhere to find you that you control.
You own the domain, content, mailing list, reader data and any assets you supply. Where third-party hosting or platform software is used, that software belongs to its provider — but Quill & Reed does not claim your brand or your data.
Social content
Content without staring at a blank screen every week.
We can create launch posts, book excerpts, character content, behind-the-book posts, reader questions, review graphics, release updates, author-brand content, video and reel ideas, and promotional posts.
Publish + Grow provides the content. You remain responsible for most of the actual scheduling and posting, unless otherwise agreed. If you want us to schedule and publish it, that is Managed Author.
Newsletter content
Something worth sending to readers.
We prepare ongoing newsletter ideas and copy: book updates, launch news, behind-the-scenes pieces, events, new reviews, future projects and reader engagement. You send it. We cannot promise subscriber growth, but we can make sure you have something useful to say.

After launch
Keeping the book visible.
Marketing calendar. A practical ongoing plan: seasonal opportunities, book anniversaries, relevant dates, reader engagement, review content, behind-the-scenes posts and future-book announcements.
SEO foundations. Page titles, meta descriptions, author and book structured data where appropriate, indexable content, clean URLs, internal linking, a sitemap and basic search setup. We do not guarantee rankings.
Quarterly metadata review. Every quarter we review descriptions, keywords, categories, positioning, website messaging and retailer copy. Platform policies and metadata options change, so this is worth revisiting.
Across the 12 months
The work changes as the book does.

Your book. Your copyright. Your royalties. Your accounts. Your audience.
Package level changes how much Quill & Reed does. It does not change who owns your work.
No rights grab. No royalty share under the standard service model. No guaranteed sales or bookshop placement — and we will not pretend otherwise.
Read Our PromiseSpecialist services
Your book may need additional specialist work.
Depending on the book, that could mean developmental editing, copy editing, proofreading, specialist illustration, maps, technical diagrams or advanced artwork.
These are quoted separately, and no work is commissioned without your approval. Advertising spend is also always separate.
Need more support later?
You may start with one level of support and later discuss moving to a higher-support package, where that works for your book and schedule. The exact arrangements will be set out clearly before anything changes.
Not sure whether this is the right package?
Publish + Grow questions
Is the website included?
Yes. A professional author website, built by Quill & Reed, is included, along with domain setup support and ongoing website updates.
Do I own the domain?
Yes. The domain is registered to you.
Do I own my mailing list?
Yes. The list and the reader data are yours, subject to privacy and data-protection obligations.
Who writes the social content?
We do, using your book, your assets and your approvals. The most effective content still draws on your voice and story.
Do you post it for me?
Not in Publish + Grow. We provide the content; you schedule and post most of it yourself. If you want us to schedule and publish it, that is Managed Author.
How often do I receive content?
A social-content pack and newsletter content are prepared each month, alongside the launch campaign and marketing calendar.
Is newsletter distribution included?
No. We prepare newsletter content; you send it. Distribution is part of Managed Author.
Is advertising included?
No. Ad management is part of Managed Author, and ad spend is always separate.
Do you guarantee followers?
No. We create content and infrastructure that make growth more likely. Nobody can honestly guarantee followers, subscribers or sales.
Can the website support future books?
Yes. It is built so new books, series and news can be added.
Can I upgrade to Managed Author?
You can discuss moving to Managed Author where that works for your book and schedule. The arrangements will be set out clearly before anything changes.
Publish the book. Build somewhere for readers to find you.
