Who this is for
01
Indie & Self-Published Authors
You've done the hardest part — you wrote the book. Now you need a professional presence that matches the quality of your work. A 1580 Creative author page gives you everything a traditional publisher would provide, built around your story.
02
Traditionally Published Authors
Publisher author pages are often generic, slow to update, and buried inside the publisher's site. Your own professional page — under your control, updated on your timeline — is the asset you send when it matters.
03
Authors Building Their Platform
Pre-debut, mid-career, or actively querying — a professional page signals to agents, editors, reviewers, and event organizers that you take your work seriously. It also gives early readers, ARCs, and press contacts somewhere to go.

Questions
What is a professional author page?

A professional author page is a standalone web page that tells your story as a writer — your bio, your books, your press coverage, your speaking availability, and how to contact you. It's the page you send to reviewers, podcast hosts, bookstores, librarians, and literary event organizers. It replaces the scattered Amazon listing, outdated Goodreads profile, and generic publisher bio that most authors rely on by default.

How is this different from a full author website?

A full author website typically costs $2,000–$5,000 to build and requires ongoing technical maintenance. A 1580 Creative author page is a single, professionally built page that contains everything a professional contact actually needs. Hosted by us, delivered in 48 hours, updated monthly for $29. For most indie authors — especially early in their career — a focused single page outperforms a sprawling multi-page website that nobody updates.

Do I need to have a published book already?

No. Many authors build their page before their debut release — giving them something professional to share with advance reviewers, early press contacts, and bookstagram readers. The page can be built around an upcoming release and updated the moment the book goes live. It's also useful during the querying process as a professional signal to agents and editors.

What do I need to provide?

You complete our author intake form — about 20 minutes. It covers your bio background, book information, press and reviews you want featured, speaking availability, and how you'd like to be contacted. You'll also email your book cover images and any headshots to hello@1580creative.com. We handle everything else.

What does monthly maintenance include?

New book releases added to your gallery, updated events and appearances, new press mentions and review quotes, bio updates, and photo or cover image changes — all for $29/month. Cancel anytime. Especially valuable for authors who publish regularly or maintain an active events and appearances calendar.

I'm traditionally published. Does my publisher provide this?

Publisher author pages exist, but they're typically generic, slow to update, and buried inside the publisher's website. Having your own professional page — one you control, updated on your timeline, with your own URL — is the asset you send when a press opportunity comes through. Most traditionally published authors maintain both.

What genres do you work with?

All of them. Children's books, middle grade, young adult, literary fiction, genre fiction, memoir, nonfiction, poetry. The intake form is built to capture what makes your specific work and voice worth discovering — regardless of genre or category.
