BookAuthor TNC is an author website template for an author, writer, and publisher, featuring a books collection, an author events calendar for readings and signings, reader testimonials, and an author newsletter sign-up. CMS collections cover books, author events, and blog posts, giving an author or publisher a professional website structure for promoting books, connecting with readers, and showcasing published work.
An author site sells the author as much as the book. BookAuthor TNC is an author website template that gives both room: an author books collection with a page per title, and an author events collection for readings, signings, and festival appearances. It gives an author, writer, or publisher space to build an author brand, promote books, and connect with readers.
It suits a novelist, non-fiction author, independent author, or writer building a readership between releases, as well as a publisher promoting an author and published book beyond launch.

Blog category, blog, book and event entries are held in Webflow CMS collections. Adding an entry means filling in fields rather than rebuilding a page, and it appears in the relevant listings automatically. For a site that gets updated regularly, this is the part that decides whether it stays current.
Readings, signings and festival dates change constantly. Holding them as entries means an author or publicist can add a date without touching the design, and past events fall away on their own.
Each title gets a page rather than a card in a grid, which is where the sample chapter, the reviews and the buy links belong.
For authors the mailing list is the asset between books, and the sign-up is present throughout rather than sitting on one page.
It presents the author and the work. It does not sell books directly, since there is no checkout, so buy buttons point at your retailer or publisher. It does not manage a mailing list, which needs an email platform connected to the form, and it does not handle ticketing for paid events.
Books, events, blog posts and blog categories are CMS entries. A publicist can add a tour date or a new title through the Editor without design access.
If you would rather not do it yourself, our team can customise this template for you, from colour and content changes through to new pages and custom functionality. Request a Webflow template customization quote, or read more about our Webflow customization service.
Can I sell books directly?
Not in this build. There is no checkout, so buy links point to your retailer or publisher.
How do I add a tour date?
Add an entry to the events collection. It appears in the events listing automatically.
Does it manage my mailing list?
No. The sign-up form connects to an email platform, which holds the list.
