Welcome to Novel House Studio! We’re here to help bookish business owners like you finally have a website that you’re proud to share. One that actually reflects your passion for storytelling, your vibe, and your expertise. We specialize in creating websites for bookish businesses and literary professionals. Whether you’re an editor, author assistant, book blogger, cover designer, or another professional in the literary world, you already know how important a strong online presence is. But let’s be real—you’re busy running your business, and building or update your website can feel overwhelming, expensive, and time-consuming and can easily end up getting buried under your never ending to-do list.

That’s exactly why I created Novel House Studio—to help book-loving entrepreneurs step into their main character energy with stunning, easy-to-use website templates and custom design services that make launching fast and stress-free. No more cringing when someone says they visited your website. You and your business deserve a site that you’re proud AF to show off!

Whether you want to DIY with one of our Showit templates, need a little extra customization help, or are ready for a completely custom site, I’ve got you covered. In this post, I’m sharing what inspired Novel House Studio, who it’s designed for, and how we can help you build a website that fits your business perfectly—without the tech headaches.

Why I Started Novel House Studio

As a book lover and creative entrepreneur, I’ve always believed that stories have the power to change lives—and so do the people who bring those stories to the world. But when I started working in design, I noticed something frustrating:

Too many literary business owners were struggling with DIY websites that didn’t reflect their expertise. Or they felt stuck because they couldn’t afford custom design or didn’t have months to wait for it.

I kept seeing incredible editors, authors, and other bookish businesses doing amazing work but losing potential clients or readers because their website wasn’t helping them stand out. Either they were using outdated sites, generic templates that didn’t show their passion and personality, or they were so overwhelmed that they didn’t have a website at all and were running their business and booking clients entirely on social media.

That’s when I knew I had to create a better solution—one that allowed literary entrepreneurs to have a stunning, professional website. One that was not only visually pleasing and easy-to-use, but also strategic. (Because what good is a website if it doesn’t actually attract your dream clients or readers?)

And so, Novel House Studio was born.

Who Novel House Studio is For

Think of Novel House Studio as a design studio, resource hub, and found family all wrapped in one. NHS was created for the bookish dreamers who have turned their love of stories into a business. If you’re in the literary world but feel stuck when it comes to your website, you’re in the right place.

This space is for:

• Editors who want to attract their dream clients while showing off their expertise and providing an amazing client experience.
• Author assistants who need a site that highlights their passion and services clearly.
• Cover designers who want to display their swoon-worthy portfolio in a way that sells and brings in their dream clients.
• Small publishers & other bookish business owners who need a stunning and strategic online presence.

If DIYing your website feels overwhelming, or you don’t have time to figure it all out, I’ve got you covered. I offer multiple solutions, whether you want to do it yourself or have it done for you.
