I am a first-time author, and Tertulia for Authors has made it easy to build my website. I am very impressed by how beautiful my website looks and by all the features I have access to. Also, I appreciate the quick response time to my emails.

I absolutely love this service for authors. After writing my book I was super stressed about doing a website. Having someone do it for me would have been about $200. But then I came across this website on social media and decided to try it out. Wow! It was so simple and I did it myself, for the price of lunch. They give you a 14 day free trial and I took advantage of that in order to add other things before publishing. It has been about two weeks and I'm still impressed. I highly recommend giving them a try!

Tertulia for Authors is 5-star worthy. Joining was a huge move for my author branding. I signed up immediately for the upgrade that now offers an e-commerce feature on my website. Signed book sales, newsletters, blogs and emails streamlined on the website. I watched the video on file, one of many available to users, and found it answered every question and guided me through the process of onboarding to e-commerce I have completed the setup of the upgrade and proudly launched it across my social media platform. I adore this boutique style of interaction among their team, the writers, and me. To have access to articles and videos to troubleshoot or learn is outstanding. I am grateful to have the invite to Friday office hours - I signed up for it too. Having the team live interacting is outstanding. To be two books into writing a series, and book 3 this June 26, they are an awesome support to this indie author. I am grateful to have come across their ad on Instagram, to their friendly and immediate reply, and their quick response to my initial group of questions.

My experience with tertulia has been great. I would definitely recommend them to anyone who wants to be a clean author site, especially if they don't have the ability to build it themselves through wix or Wordpress. They also have great tutorial videos on YouTube that teach you how to use it!

I’m so excited about this website service. It’s easy! What?!? A website service that’s easy to use? Who’da thunk? It also looks absolutely great. I actually look forward to working on my site. That’s new. I recommend this service to everyone.

Tertulia for Authors is super easy to use for a person like me with no experience creating websites. Plus, the website created causes viewers to say "WOW." It is professional looking. The support team at Tertulia is amazing. The employees quickly and efficiently answer your questions, not days as some support teams do. They are courteous and knowledgeable. Also, I very much appreciate the fact that they do not speak to me in a condescending manner, no matter how stupid my question might be to them. I simply love this company!

This is great! I've tried for years to get a really professional author site with wordpress. Always get so near but the more I try to build value in to it the more it or I mess up. Tertulia for Authors had me up in minutes, experimenting within an hour and guess what? It doesn't break - never. From book pages to my blog to external links it all just works so far. Started off free and achieved so much. Upgraded to basic and linked my domain easily. Will upgrade to the full e-commerce and marketing package when it is available for Uk for sure. Price is a no brainer for all this functionality and ease of use!

When they say affordable, it is. But take minimal to heart because there are NO bells and whistles. And make sure you try it for free first to make sure the program is right for you. Because I have asked for a refund after 3 days of working on it, and asking questions, all of which were answered with a no. If you're a first time author, or someone that wants no frills just a book site, it's perfect. There are no drop downs, no control over much of anything. And I've tried talking to them and I asked for a phone number and they do not have one. Now they have just stopped replying to me. As long as you have no issues, they have great Customer Service. But I really would like to speak to a manager. ***UPDATE** I have spoken with a manager and resolved some issues.
