The Author edition supports three published books, with unlimited drafts. Starter layouts help you put together an author page, a book gallery, or a single-book launch page.
A few things to know.
Do I need to know how to code?
No. Add books in your WordPress dashboard, then select them in the Pretty Bookshelf block. If you prefer shortcodes, copy and paste the example provided with each book.
Where do the covers and book details come from?
ISBN lookup uses Open Library. Its catalog may be incomplete, and editions can vary. You can edit the details and upload your own cover whenever you need to.
Can readers buy books through my site?
You can add retailer buttons that take readers to places such as Amazon, Bookshop.org, or your own store. Pretty Bookshelf does not process purchases or payments.
What happens to a book I save as a draft?
Its cover, description, and retailer links stay saved. Draft books do not appear in public Pretty Bookshelf displays.
Can I see different layouts?
Yes. Explore the book gallery, the author page, or the single-book demo.
Let your next reader find their next book.
Thoughtful details. A beautiful place for your stories.
