What To Read

Building on our mission of helping readers discover books they love, Tertulia is now helping authors discover new readers. That's why we have launched Tertulia for Authors — an effortless way for authors to create and manage their online presence, starting with their website.

Unlike traditional website builders that require manual page creation and design skills, Tertulia for Authors does the work for you, leveraging its direct access to retailer metadata for millions of books. Authors can launch a professional site simply by entering the ISBN of one of their books. Tertulia, then, automatically imports all their books, metadata, cover images, and retailer links in minutes.

The platform offers everything a writer needs to build, maintain, and strengthen their digital home base: a customizable blog, events calendar, email newsletter list builder, optimized bio and book pages, and built-in links to online booksellers and social platforms. No design or technical skills required.

"Creating a professional author website shouldn’t take days or require extensive design or technical expertise or cost thousands of dollars. Now every author can create a beautiful and highly functional website in minutes, and at costs that are affordable ," said Sebastian Cwilich, CEO of Tertulia. "Tertulia has always been about helping readers discover great books. Now we're helping authors be discovered too — by eliminating the technical barriers that keep writers from connecting with their readers."

Since the site builder’s soft launch earlier this year, more than 10,000 authors have taken advantage of the free trial, and over 36% of them have bought a paid subscription.” In addition to rave reviews from authors, the service is receiving enthusiastic reviews from publishing experts.

"I was impressed by the service and have already started recommending it to writers," wrote industry expert Jane Friedman. "I expect many authors who have been frustrated with their existing platforms will move over to Tertulia."

Self-publishing expert Dale Roberts has featured Tertulia for Authors on his podcast twice, calling it "a forward-thinking tool that solves a major pain point, especially for authors who aren't tech savvy or are short on time."

With its user-friendly design and focus on authors' unique needs, Tertulia for Authors fills a long-standing gap in the publishing ecosystem — helping writers take control of their online visibility and connect directly with their readers.A two-week no-credit-card needed free trial is available for the subscription-based service, which incorporates seamless domain registry and customer care.

Following on our release of the website builder, the Tertulia product team is working on the roll-out of a suite of powerful tools to help authors promote their books.
