Bookwise is a conversion-focused WordPress theme for indie authors and writer-preneurs.
Bookwise is the best way to craft a professional website for your indie author personal brand, connect with your readers, and ultimately sell more books ... ZERO coding required!
What is
?
If you're an indie author, you need a great website to showcase your work and connect with your readers. But a generic website just won't cut it. You need a place to show off your books, events, reviews, and of course yourself... the author.
Whether you write sci-fi, romance, fantasy, young adult, historical fiction, or futuristic Western-inspired steampunk, Bookwise is your secret to building an author-focused online brand, and giving your books the platform they deserve.
Are you ready to reach more readers and sell more books?
DO YOU WRITE ROMANCE ?
Stunning Page Templates to Showcase your Books, Reviews, and Upcoming Events
Bookwise is built – from the ground up – to meet the unique needs of creative writers. Showcase your best work with stunning Book pages, feature your best reader and critic feedback with a special Reviews page, and share your upcoming workshops, conventions, and public readings with a compelling Events page.
Craft the Perfect Author Website – With ZERO Coding Knowledge
You need to invest your time writing and promoting your novels, NOT learning how to code or design a website.
Bookwise uses Thrive Theme Builder to let you visually customize every single element of your website to match your brand and personality. Customizing your author website is fast, intuitive and even fun!
You guys did your RESEARCH!
Seriously... as a writer and marketer who specializes in helping business owners self-publish their book, I have to say, you guys NAILED it!
Your attention to detail to what's going on in the publishing space is remarkable. This is such an exciting theme and your entire team should be proud.

Choose the Best Homepage For YOUR Author Brand
Do you want to lead with your personal brand as an author or your latest book? The choice is yours...
A professional, indie author personal brand needs a killer homepage, and Bookwise offers two: An Author-Focused homepage and a Book-Focused homepage – so you can choose how to position and market yourself and your body of work.
Showcase Your Books, Characters, Plots, World-Building and More
Your books deserve to be read!
Bookwise gives your books the chance to shine, with a beautifully designed template to showcase your stories and characters.
Get your readers excited by sharing a compelling synopsis AND, when they're ready to buy, offer them a range of purchase buttons to retailers like Amazon, Smashwords, Scribd, Audible, Barnes & Noble, Apple Books and more...
Or cut out the middle men entirely and sell your books directly from your own website!
Feature Your Best Reviews to Build Social Proof
Every writer knows that reviews sell books.
That's why Bookwise comes with a specially designed Reviews page template with space to show off your very best reader and critic reviews.
Professionally designed Blocks also make it easy to quickly add impressive reviews to any page on your website, so you can build social proof and increase your sales.
Promote Your Upcoming Author Events — Both Online and In-Person
Share your upcoming workshops, conventions, public readings and webinars.
If you're the kind of writer who enjoys connecting with your readers and fellow authors, you'll LOVE the stylish Events page template in Bookwise.
It includes easy-to-customize sections for upcoming interviews, in-person or live events, as well as an embedded contact form so people can enquire about booking a seat to see you speak!
But it doesn't stop there... Bookwise also includes templates for online:
Share Quick Updates on Current Writing Projects... or for NaNoWriMo Accountability!
In addition to some visually stunning blog post templates (grid or masonry layout), Bookwise also features a very special Micro Blogging template that is perfect for those quick updates that don't warrant a full post.
You can use Micro Blog Posts to keep your readers informed of your latest work in progress, hold yourself accountable, or even to keep a NaNoWriMo log so you feel motivated to hit this year's 50,000 word target!
Grow Your Email List with Special Lead Generation Templates
It's not enough to write amazing books, you also have to tell people about them.
Email marketing lets you build a list of loyal fans and readers to connect with... even after they've left your website.
Bookwise helps you grow your email list with conversion-focused templates for lead generation, email confirmation, and thank you pages. It also includes enticing opt-in forms that you can include on any page of your website.
Connect Your Online Writing Profiles and Book Selling Platforms
We know online writing and reading communities are different from the typical social media scene.
Sure, you still have Facebook, YouTube, Twitter and even Instagram...
But what about Goodreads, Scribd and bookselling platforms like Amazon and Smashwords?
Bookwise has you covered, with eye-catching buttons and icons to connect with all your favorite author-related websites.
Craft the Perfect Website with Sections and Blocks
Bookwise comes with tons of great looking Section and Block templates to help you customize your perfect indie author website.
Want to quickly add a great review to one of your book pages? Just drag, drop and customize.
How about showing off your latest blog posts? No problem. Choose from 5 stylish Block templates.
Maybe you'd like to swap out the entire top or bottom sections? Click, click, done.
Bookwise is like having a team of professional designers on hand 24/7 to give your books and brand the attention they deserve!

To put it in a word...Brilliant! But the first word that came to mind is BadAss... I'm not a fan of plugin bloat insanity. My take on Thrive Theme Builder > You good people just hit a bases-loaded walk-off Homerun...For me and every other Thrive Theme tribe member.

I just want to say WOW – the new Thrive Theme Builder is amazing!!! I am so impressed. It’s literally solving all the problems I had before.

As a former AVADA user I recommend to get rid of this….theme. It takes a bit of effort but you save more than this amount of effort in the future and you get an excellent support.
Most of the migration effort will be the deletion of the avada syntax.
Due to the ability to use templates and symbols in Thrive Architect you can migrate very efficiently.

OK, that’s just amazing! I love how Thrive continues to not only improve the best theme builder around, but also makes the components within that theme builder the very best available, anywhere. Great job!
