By Authors for Authors
Having a means to market, sell, and promote your books is an essential part of the publishing process. Fans and followers need a place where they can come to checkout your current books, find updates, and be inspired. That is what your own personal Author Website can do for you.
Here at AffordableChristianEditing.com, we are editors and authors who understand the needs of authors in our fight to increase the Kingdom of God in the kingdom of men and uplift Jesus Christ. We can build you an Author Website that focuses on your books and brand while giving you another way to deliver the message God has given you to potentially millions of people.

First things first...
Before we can begin
Before we can do our part and build you that amazing Author Website, you will need two things:
- A domain name
- A hosting service
Below are two hosting services that we have used in the past. You don’t have to use either, but we do recommend them. Each can also help you find an available domain name. A domain name is a web address specific to you. We recommend you use your own name or the name of your ministry in the domain name if possible.
While our fee is a one-time expense to build the website, the fees for a domain name and a hosting service are monthly and more often yearly. So consider your options carefully before choosing.
In our free phone consultation, we can explain much of this. Check the links below, and once you get a domain name and a hosting service, we can begin!
