Custom Author WordPress Theme
Book pages, buy links and a reader newsletter signup for authors
Readers who finish your book at midnight go looking for the next one; agents, podcast hosts and festival organizers go looking for you. A custom author WordPress theme gives each title its own page with the cover, a short description, an excerpt, review quotes and buy links for every retailer and format, plus a series reading order so nobody starts at book four. A newsletter signup sits right where readers want more and a media page holds your bio, headshots and interview topics for anyone booking you. Foxco sets the whole thing up for $999 installed and configured, roughly the price of a decent cover design.
Every book one click from a new reader.

Author theme questions
Is this an off-the-shelf author template?
No; it's a custom WordPress theme. Foxco starts from its framework for authors and builds it out with your covers, your brand and the way your books fit together, whether that's one literary novel or a twelve-book series.
How long before I can announce it?
7-10 days is typical after we have your logo or name treatment, headshots, covers and page content. Got a launch date coming up quickly? We can rush it if bandwidth allows.
Can I sell signed copies directly from the site?
Retailer buy links are built into every book page. Selling signed copies or bundles yourself with a cart and checkout can be added as a custom project.
Will the newsletter signup connect to my email list?
The signup forms are part of the theme and can be pointed at most email list services during setup. A reader magnet that delivers a free chapter automatically can be set up as a custom project.
That midnight reader is the most valuable visitor you'll ever get, because they've just proven they like how you write. The theme is arranged so they can reach the next book in two clicks and the newsletter in one.
Every book gets a proper page
Each title carries its cover, a hook-length description, a sample chapter or excerpt, a few review quotes and buy buttons for hardcover, ebook and audio across the retailers you sell through. Series get a reading order page with clear numbering, which saves a surprising number of readers from starting in the middle.
A newsletter in the right places
Signup blocks appear at the end of excerpts, on book pages and in the footer, since those are the moments someone decides they want to hear about the next release. You can offer a bonus scene or a free short story as the reason to join and write to readers directly when preorders open.
Ready for the people booking you
Podcast producers, librarians and festival organizers want a bio in three lengths, a high-resolution headshot and a list of topics you can talk about. Foxco builds a media page with all of it, plus an events calendar for signings and panels, so the booking email arrives with a date already attached.
A home for the whole bookshelf.
