Author portfolio: a website for your books and ideas.
A site of your own on papercraftpublishers.com, with long-form articles drawn from your book that readers can find in search and follow to the book itself.
More than an author page.
A portfolio is a book marketing tool built from your own writing: readers searching a subject you know well find your article, then your book.
Your own site on our domain
An address of your own, papercraftpublishers.com/a/your-name, with your name, your navigation and none of the PaperCraft menus. A small credit at the foot of the page is the only sign of us.
Minds: your book, as articles
Selected chapters and ideas from your book become long-form pages, each answering a question readers actually search for, with headings, a short FAQ and links to the related pieces and the book.
Book discovery
Every Minds article and book listing leads to the book's page in our shop, so a reader who arrives from a search can find and buy the book.
Words of Wisdom and Ask the Author
Short quotations from your work, and a question form for readers. Questions are reviewed before anything is published.
Built to be found
Each page has its own title and description, structured data for search engines, and a place in the site's sitemap. We can't promise rankings: search results take time and depend on the topic.
You decide how much goes online
You choose which parts of the book appear and when; articles can be scheduled. The complete argument stays in the book.
Mian Ashiq Hussain
The portfolio of the author of How Constitutions Flourish or Fail uses the Scholar design, with a Minds library drawn from the book. Visit the portfolio or browse its Minds articles.
Pick the one that suits your writing.
