Tertulia for Authors: Features
Tertulia for Authors is an all-in-one author platform—a website, online storefront, email newsletter, blog, events calendar, and direct book sales in one system built specifically for authors. Here’s everything it does.
Build your website from a book’s ISBN
Enter one book’s ISBN and Tertulia automatically builds your author website—importing your books, covers, descriptions, reviews, and retailer links. No design or coding skills required. Most authors are ready to launch in less than an hour, then customize and build out their content over time. Website updates are very user-friendly, and unlimited custom pages are included on all plans.
Sell books directly—and keep the revenue
On the Pro plan, sell ebooks, audiobooks, and print books directly from your own site. Tertulia takes no per-sale commission—you pay only standard Stripe payment processing fees. You own the sale and the customer relationship instead of routing readers to a retailer.
Grow an email list you own
Build your mailing list on any plan; on Pro, send full email campaigns and newsletters to readers directly. Your audience is yours—not rented from a social platform or a retailer.
