Being an author is hard enough without having to be a web developer, social media expert, and e-mail marketer, too. But in today’s publishing world, writers are finding themselves wearing all of these hats—and more!—as they work to create, sell and publicize their writing. While technology has opened many exciting new avenues for writers looking to get their work out into the wider world, the technological challenges can be steep. That’s where we step in. Think of Pageway as your nerdy tech friend. We specialize in building author websites, managing mailing lists, and providing general technical help for authors navigating the new and sometimes daunting world of 21st-century publishing.

If you read articles or watch videos about the business of writing, you’ve probably heard of the concept of an author platform. But what exactly is a platform? And how do you get one? Simply put, a platform is an author's online presence—everything from their website and mailing lists, to articles and blog entries, to social media followers. Traditional authors with big platforms are more attractive to agents and publishers because they come with a built-in reader base, while self-published authors increasingly rely on things like blogs and Twitter to drive sales. Whichever path you follow as a writer, Pageway can give you the tools you need to make your work stand out from the crowd.
