For authors

An author page, and a page for every book

Not a website builder. You get one page as an author and one page per book, each at its own URL, each carrying structured data a search engine and an AI assistant can quote. Every author and every book is verified.

Create your author page

Every book is verified

$5 once verifies you. $10 once verifies your first book, and each book after it is $1.

Editions, not duplicates

Four formats of one book stay one page instead of four competing ones.

A person reviews every link

Which is why a stranger cannot attach themselves to your work.

What you get, and what you do not

You do not get a website builder, a theme to choose or a domain to renew. You get the pages themselves.

Claim the books you wrote

Search by ISBN or title and claim the ones that are yours. Every link between a book and an author is approved by a person.

Editions, handled properly

Hardback, paperback, ebook and audio are stored as editions of one book, each keeping its own ISBN and its own buy link under a single canonical page.

Subjects that group your work

Books carry subjects, and each subject is its own page, so a series or a theme has a landing page readers can browse.

A table for your readers

Start a table and readers reply, ask and recommend there. You and the moderators you appoint start the posts. Anyone signed in, approved and not banned may reply. Smartie includes one, any size, public or private; Smartie Pro includes five, then $5 a month each.

What readers can do on your pages

  • Recommend the book, with the count showing on the page.
  • Follow you, so your next release reaches them without an algorithm deciding.
  • Save the page and come back to it.
  • Reply at the table.

No streaks, no badges, no leaderboards and no ranks. Nothing on your page is a game.

If you already have a website

Keep it. These pages link out to it, and the short link is short enough to fit in a podcast bio when your domain is not.

What it costs

Verification is paid once: $5 for you, $10 for your first book and $1 for each book after it. A person confirms the book is yours before its page goes live.

Three rungs. Every new account starts with 30 days of Smartie and no card, and nothing is deleted if you come back down: your content freezes in place and reopens on payment.

Questions

What does verification cost?

$5 once to verify you, $10 once for your first book, and $1 for each book after it. Nothing recurs.

My book is already listed. Is that page mine?

Claim it and it is. The page keeps its URL and its history, so nothing you gain has to be rebuilt.

Do you take a cut of my sales?

No. Buy links point wherever you tell them to point.

What if I write under more than one name?

One author page per name you publish under, all claimable by the same account.

I self-published. Does that matter?

No. The claim process is identical.

How long does a claim take?

A person reviews it, so it is not instant. You can fill in the rest of your profile while you wait.

An author page, and a page for every book

Not a website builder. You get one page as an author and one page per book, each at its own URL, each carrying structured data a search engine and an AI assistant can quote. Every author and every book is verified.
