Behind the Scenes of Great Author Websites: About Sarah Mays

About Your AUTHOR WEBSITE STEWARD

Hi, I’m Sarah!

This page exists for you to learn a little about your Author Website Steward—protecting your online presence so you can focus on stages, books, and building what matters.

With a background in writing, editing, and publishing, I understand what it takes to bring creative work into the world. I know the vulnerability of putting your message out there, and I’ve seen firsthand what happens when your website doesn’t match the quality of your work.

Today, I bring my publishing experience, WordPress expertise, and deep respect for the creative process to serve authors like you—women building something bigger than a book.

I’m also a mom of five (ages 20, 18, 13, 7, and 5), which means I know exactly what it’s like to build a business that fits your life—not one that consumes it. I understand the value of protecting your time, saying no to what drains you, and investing in infrastructure that actually works.

I’m here to create margin for what matters most: your writing, speaking, and leadership.

What Makes Me Different

I’ve walked your path.
I’ve been in the writing trenches. I understand the weight of holding creative work, the exhaustion of platform-building, and what it costs when your online presence doesn’t open doors.

I speak fluent author.
You’re not explaining yourself to someone who sees your website as just another task. You’re partnering with someone who gets it—the tension between art and commerce, the vulnerability of visibility, the sacred space your deepest work requires.

I’m philosophically aligned with your creative life.
I don’t believe you need 10,000 subscribers to matter. You shouldn’t have to sell your soul to social media. And you definitely shouldn’t sacrifice writing time to troubleshoot WordPress at midnight.

I protect what creation requires.
Your website should work for you around the clock—opening doors to speaking engagements, partnerships, and opportunities—while you focus on the work only you can do.

How I Serve Entrepreneurial Authors

Website Stewardship ($2,000/month)
I become the guardian of your digital presence. Monthly calls, unlimited updates, all maintenance handled. You email or Voxer when something needs to happen. I handle it. You get back to writing.

Website Refresh ($3,500)
Your site isn’t reflecting the quality of your work. In 2 weeks, I’ll elevate your existing site—cleaning up design, restructuring content, optimizing performance—then you get a 2-week grace period to catch any quirks.

Website Audit ($97)
Not sure what’s wrong? Start here. In 3 business days, you’ll get a video walkthrough showing exactly what’s working, what’s broken, and what to fix first.
