Why do I need an author website if I'm already on Amazon?

Amazon is a great place to sell books, but your website is the one place you own. It gives readers a central hub to learn about you, explore your full catalog, join your email list, and purchase your books directly.

Can I promote an entire book series instead of just one title?

Absolutely! Your Tertulia website is designed to showcase your complete body of work. Whether you have a trilogy or a long-running series, readers can easily discover every book and follow the journey from beginning to end.

Can I sell books directly to readers from my own website?

Yes! With Tertulia PRO, you can sell ebooks directly from your website, giving readers a seamless checkout experience while allowing you to offer competitive pricing and keep the relationship with your audience.
