🚀 LAUNCH A PROFESSIONAL AUTHOR PRESENCE THIS WEEKEND!

Show up professionally, grow your audience, and sell more books — even if tech isn’t your thing.

You wrote the book. You did the hard part!

But if you cringe when someone says “I checked out your website,” you’re not alone — and we can change that today.

Meet Bestseller Brand Blueprint — the plug-and-play system for authors who are done piecing things together.

Create your visual identity, launch a complete author site, and show up like a pro in days, not months — for a fraction of the $2,000+ custom design price tag.

WHY THIS MATTERS - WHAT'S INSIDE

You’ve already proven you’re serious about your author career. But readers, media, and publishers don’t just see your site. They notice the whole picture — your visuals, your book pages, your bio, your reader magnet, your emails.

The Bestseller Brand Blueprint brings all those moving parts together — beautifully, simply, and affordably — so you look like the professional author you already are. Watch this video to see how I've made this so much simpler for you!

With the Bestseller Brand Blueprint, you will:

  • Craft your look & voice — colors, fonts, logo, and tone so you feel polished from day one.

  • Launch a complete author site — pro pages, email capture, media kit, and book showcase (all plug-and-play).

  • Market with confidence — done-for-you assets like a reader magnet, social posts, one-sheets, and more.

  • Look cohesive everywhere — from your homepage to Instagram, everything feels consistent and professional.

👋 MEET MARIA

FROM AUTHOR STRUGGLE TO SUCCESS

Hi there! I'm Maria Saracen. Emmy Award-winning television producer, copywriter, brand strategist, and now (pinch me!) a self-published author.

In 2024, I published my first nonfiction book and launched it with a small but mighty list of ~2,000 subscribers from a completely unrelated niche — and it still became an Amazon Top New Release in its category.

That experience taught me something crucial: no matter how brilliant your book, without a professional author brand and platform, it's easy to stay invisible. 😭

This insight turned on a lightbulb, and I've been working furiously ever since to put my two decades of marketing, branding, and website design expertise to work.

With my fresh author experience, I've created something I wish I'd had from day one: a cohesive, comprehensive toolkit specifically for ambitious authors like us!

I hope you'll agree as you:

✓ Launch a website that looks stunning and professional (without the $2,000+ designer price tag)

✓ Grow an email list full of ideal readers (with templates that do the heavy lifting)

✓ Position every book launch for success (with proven marketing strategies)

You bring your vision and writing talent. I'll bring the system, professional templates, and ease that turns "someday" into "this weekend."

FEELING STUCK IS NEVER FUN! DOES THIS SOUND FAMILIAR...

"I’m embarrassed to share my website." 🙈

"I’ve wasted so much time in Canva it’s not even funny." 😭

"I can’t afford thousands for a custom designer." 💰

"My book deserves better than what I’m showing online." 😔

"My current author photo is a cropped wedding pic where you can almost not see my cousin's shoulder." 😅

"If I have to make one more update or add one more plugin, I'm going to become a goat farmer instead!" 🤪

Most authors feel like their only options are DIY chaos or high-ticket design. There's a better way.

WHEN THE PIECES CLICK, EVERYTHING ALIGNS

✅ You attract readers who get your work

✅ You launch with real confidence (bye, imposter syndrome)

✅ Industry pros take you seriously

✅ You share your site proudly

✅ Visibility increases — which can lead to more book sales

One-time payment of $397. No recurring charges.

"A game-changer"

"Working with Maria at Saracen Creative has been a game-changer for me as a first-time author... Maria listened, understood my needs, and helped me create something I’m incredibly proud of. She made the process easy, stress-free, and enjoyable. If you’re an author looking to build your brand and create a website that speaks to who you are, I can’t recommend Maria enough.

The layout is beautiful, the support materials are next-level, and it honestly made me excited to hit publish. I finally have a site I’m proud of!

It's everything you need to build a stunning, professional online presence that helps you connect with readers and industry professionals.

Do I need any technical skills to use the templates?

My honest answer:
If you're already using Canva and Systeme.io, you're good to go! This tookit will be easy-peasy for you to implement - and fast!

If you’ve never used Systeme.io before, or need to brush up, I’ll point you to their best resources and let you know exactly what to do first. Some initial setup (like connecting your domain) is covered in their official training, and I’ll link you right to it. You'll also get my how-to videos.

That said, if you can drag-and-drop and use a word processor (which, as an author, I'm guessing you've mastered), chances are you will find that the Bestseller Brand Blueprint has a very manageable learning curve, and the skills you will master will empower you in your author business for years to come.

Will this work for my genre?

Yes! The branding materials are intentionally flexible, with curated elements that work for fiction (romance, thriller, fantasy, literary), nonfiction (self-help, business, memoir), poetry, and beyond.

You simply choose the style that fits your voice, genre, and audience. I've done the heavy lifting — you make it yours.

What if I don't have a book published yet?

Not a problem. In fact, you're setting yourself up for a strong launch!

Use the Bestseller Brand Blueprint to:

  • Create anticipation for your new book

  • Build your email list ahead of release

  • Share behind-the-scenes content

  • Present a polished platform to agents, readers, and publicity opportunities

  • Have a working website to include in your book!

The earlier you establish your platform, the more effective all your other marketing efforts.

Will this work with WordPress, Wix, or any other platform?

Short answer: Not really. While you can use the many Canva project files on other platforms to create your website graphics, reader magnet, email signature, social media posts and much more, the website template is specifically made for Systeme.io.

If you're wondering why I chose Systeme.io, please watch the second video on this page and read the next FAQ. I hope you'll be pleasantly surprised by how affordable, flexible, and user-friendly this platform really is! No tech headaches. No hidden costs. And no steep learning curve.

What is Systeme.io and why are we using it?

Systeme.io is an all-in-one platform that makes creating websites incredibly simple. I chose it because:

  • It's free to start with generous features

  • There are no coding requirements

  • It's specifically designed to be user-friendly

  • It grows with your author business (email marketing, sales pages, webinars, courses etc.)

  • It has thousands of 5-star reviews on Trustpilot

  • It's what I use for my own business and I LOVE it!

Will I need to pay for Systeme.io?

Systeme.io offers a completely free plan that includes everything you need to get started. You can upgrade later if you want additional features and account quotas, but an upgrade is not required for this website template to work beautifully.

Will I need to buy anything else to make this work?

The only additional purchase I highly recommend you make is a domain name (approximately $15-20/year), and for email marketing, an email address to go with it.

As far as Canva goes, all my templates are designed to work beautifully with their free plan. If you want more fonts, graphics or other features, you are welcome to upgrade to Canva's pro plan - but that is totally optional.

Are there any recurring costs?

The Bestseller Brand Blueprint is a one-time purchase of $397, with no recurring fees from me. Systeme.io offers a freemium plan that works perfectly with these templates. If you choose to upgrade to their paid plans later for advanced features and account quotas, that's optional and separate from this purchase.

What kind of support is included?

The Bestseller Brand Blueprint is a comprehensive DIY toolkit designed to save you dozens if not hundreds of hours on research, design, and setup time - not to mention, frustration!

It includes:

• Step-by-step video tutorials with template customization instructions

• Basic support for my resources and templates (please consult Systeme.io for tech support)

• Access to my helpful bot, Brandly

While I provide all the tools and guidance needed for success, this is a self-paced, do-it-yourself Blueprint. Authors who prefer hands-on support can upgrade to our Website Launch Concierge service, and those seeking custom design work or done-FOR-you options are welcome to contact me at support@saracencreative.com for a custom quote.

The Bestseller Brand Blueprint is designed to empower you with professional-quality tools in an all-in-one toolkit, saving you untold time and thousands in custom design costs. The system is also designed to be user-friendly, but it does require you to be willing to implement the templates and strategies yourself.

Will my website work on mobile phones and tablets?

Yes, yes, and yes!!! Your Systeme.io website will be fully responsive and look great on all devices - from smartphones to desktop computers. This is super important as more and more readers browse on mobile devices.

How can I use the Bestseller Brand Blueprint?

These templates are for your use, to help you brand your own author business ONLY.

Please don’t:

❌ Resell, share or redistribute the templates to anyone (even edited)

❌ Use them for anyone else's business (including your clients, family or friends)

❌ Claim them as your original work

Any questions? Ask me first, I’m here to help! Email support@saracencreative.com

What's your refund policy?

While many digital products are final sale, I want you to feel completely confident in your purchase. That’s why you have 14 days from your date of purchase to request a hassle-free refund.

Here’s how it works:

Dive into the toolkit, follow the step-by-step instructions and videos, and start building your brand and website.

If you find that the Bestseller Brand Blueprint isn't the solution you've been dreaming of, simply send me an email within 14 days of your purchase and choose one of these two options:

Get a full refund — no hoops, no guilt trips.
Or, if you’d like hands‑on help instead, you can apply a $50 credit toward my Website Launch Concierge where I'll personally help you set everything up.

In short, I created this blueprint so you can focus on crafting chapters — not wrestling with tech or spending thousands on a web designer. All I ask is that you carve out a little time in the next 14 days to follow the step-by-step guidance, have some fun, and launch your brand and website.

How soon will I get access?

You'll receive immediate access to all templates and resources as soon as your purchase is complete. Everything is delivered digitally through a secure member portal where you can access all the templates and video tutorials.

What if my enquiring mind needs to know more?

I'm thrilled to share all the details you need! Shoot me a message and I'll reply as soon as humanly possible: support@saracencreative.com

One-time payment of $397. No recurring charges.
