A book author HTML template for novelists, poets and working writers who need one place for their books, events, press and readers. It is built with HTML5, Bootstrap 5 and plain JavaScript and is set like a printed book: warm ivory paper, espresso ink and one oxblood accent, with hairline rules, small capitals and a serif voice in place of boxes and shadows. Underneath sits a clean, well-organised codebase: Bootstrap utility classes for layout, a single stylesheet driven by CSS design tokens, locally hosted fonts, markup-driven form validation and responsive layouts across every screen size.

The template includes 18 ready-made pages built around how an author actually works: the library of books with a book detail page and buy links, a launch page for the new novel, events with an RSVP page, a press kit with bios and downloads, services for speaking and workshops, reviews, a newsletter page, a book club kit, answers to common questions, a journal, contact and the utility pages. Sections open like chapters, with roman part numbers, and the book covers are included as artwork you can replace.

Credits

• Fonts: Fraunces and Newsreader, OFL licensed, served locally
• Book covers: original template artwork, included

Images Notice

The photography shown in the live preview and screenshots is licensed stock used as preview content only and is not included in the download. The package ships placeholder images in place of every photograph. Each placeholder carries the same filename as the image it replaces, so you can drop your own images in with no code changes. The book covers are template artwork and are included. Replace the placeholders with your own photographs or licensed images before publishing.

Requirements and Limitations

• A static HTML template, not a WordPress product. Basic knowledge of HTML and CSS is enough to customize it.
• The forms validate in the browser but do not send email or reserve a seat. Connect them to your own form handler or mailing list before going live.
• The demo author details (books, publisher, agent, events and addresses) and the sample download files are content to replace with your own.
