Website Design for Memoirists & Advocacy Authors

An online home for your story and the work it inspires.

Your story deserves a space that feels welcoming, trustworthy and clear: a place where readers, families and supporters can find you, find resources, and join the conversation.

Memoirist & Advocacy Authors

You wrote your story to help others. Your website should too.

Many of the authors I work with have turned deeply personal experiences into books that help others feel understood and less alone. For some, that work also extends into advocacy, sharing resources, and building connections around a cause.

Bringing that work online calls for care with both your story and the people who encounter it. Together, we’ll create a website that respects your boundaries, makes useful information easy to find, and supports the ways you want to connect with readers or work toward change.

Designed around your story and your cause.

Share Your Story on Your Terms

Bring your story and your book together in a way that feels true to you. You choose how much to share, while readers can easily find book details, sample chapters, and purchase information.

Make Resources Easy to Find

Organize guides, links, and downloads for readers looking for information or support. Where relevant, include content notes and support resources so visitors can choose what they explore.

Connect Readers With Your Mission

Give people clear ways to stay connected or get involved, whether through your newsletter, events, speaking, or advocacy. The options reflect your goals and the kind of community you want to build.

In their words

Memoirists I’ve Worked With

  • As an author, my strength is in telling my story and doing the work I care deeply about, not navigating all of the technical pieces… Sandy has taken that worry off my plate completely.
    Cindy Benezra, Author of Under the Orange Blossoms
  • I’ve worked with Sandy for a few years now. She set up a beautiful page, and expertly maintains my site, and I rely upon her with the utmost of confidence.
    Randi Kalman, Author of Voices Carry
  • My website was bland, generic and in desperate need of a redesign… Sandy elevated my ideas & vision and created a beautiful website for me that I’m now extremely proud to advertise!
