Thank you so much for posting this. I've been looking at Squarespace, but found the choices overwhelming. I feel confident that I can reference your video to help when I'm stuck using the Squarespace site to build my website. Thanks a million.
Thanks a lot for the tutorial! I was looking for options and you came on point ^^ I already have squarespace account for another site... And yeah, I totally got you with the professional headshot because just today I reach out to a friend who is a professional photographer XD (I can have a Hooe enough photo by myself lol)
Hey Stevie! Good question. I think that’s up to you. Maybe check out a few others who use pen names and see what they do? Here’s one of my favorite author duos, who writes under the pen name Christina Lauren: christinalaurenbooks.com .
Hi! I know this is an older video, but it was helpful. I was wondering if you had any tips as to the best way to add your Amazon-sold books on your Squarespace website? I want to show the cover page of multiple books and then have a link to Amazon under each book. Do you think it’s better to do this through a “gallery” option, and put each book cover as an image with a hyperlink underneath? Or as a “store” option, and then use the “Amazon” feature to get the link and the cover image directly from Amazon? I don’t yet sell direct, so not sure if the store is best for this?
Hey Laura! Thanks so much for your comment. I don't have experience with SquareSpace stores. What may be easiest is to display images of your books and then to link those to the Amazon pages. Best of luck!
At first the edit button didn't appear on my page so I went back to the main squarespace menu and clicked edit website..this time I could do so, but the three icons to the top right you're using to change backgrounds are not appearing...please help #edit pen+@5.52
Hi Larry, thanks so much for watching, and I'm sorry about that issue! Are you on Twitter? If so, send me a message with a screenshot of your screen (I'm @laurenikay) and I will work with you to fix this!
You can! It's a bit of a more complicated process: support.squarespace.com/hc/en-us/articles/226312567-Moving-from-Wix-to-Squarespace . DM me on Twitter (@laurenikay) if you need any help with that!
I did it! I followed the tutorial and made a website in a little over an hour! Lauren helped me with a few finishing touches and now I am up and ready. Now I just need an agent... ;) Check it out: www.jessicahasterwrites.com/ Thanks so much, Lauren!!
This meant so much, thank you. Both for the humility and the insights into the publishing process :)
Thank you so much! I hope to keep sharing -- transparency is so important to me.
Finding this video yesterday inspired me to finally put the domain I bought last summer to good use and build my author website. Thank you!
Ah I'm so happy to hear that! Congrats, Shana!!

Thank you for your video! How would you handle photos & bios if using a pen name?

hello, we do have the option to post links to selling the books we published, correct?
You definitely can do that on your site!

How can I make a website, where everyone can come and write their own stories and ideas, like websites like wattpad?

If I purchased my domain through Wix, do you know if I could transfer it to Squarespace?
