For Children's Book Authors
Websites for Children's Book Authors
Visual-first sites for picture books, illustrations, and school visits.
Children's book authors and illustrators need websites that are as visual as their work. Big cover displays, colorful accents, and a layout that lets the art do the talking.
Folio's customizable accent colors and cover-first design make it ideal for children's books. Display your picture books with full-bleed covers, share your illustration process on the blog, and let schools book author visits directly from your site.
