"I’ve been using Thrive Themes for a few years for my website and have been happy with the quality of the products along with the excellent customer service.
My enthusiasm for Thrive Themes increased 100 times when they launched Bookwise. As an author, podcaster, and strategic communications and branding coach, Bookwise is perfect for showcasing my work and how I serve clients.
The layout is thoughtful, logical, elegant, and simple. I receive numerous compliments about my website now and my book orders have increased since switching to Bookwise. And I’m just getting started! Thanks to the design and engineering team at Thrive Themes for creating Bookwise. It’s a game changer."

"I have struggled as an author to set up a beautiful website that communicated information about my books. With a limited budget, I was forced to build my website on WordPress. Fortunately for me, a consultant recommended that I use Thrive Themes.
Everything changed for me once Thrive Themes offered the Bookwise theme pack!
This theme pack is uniquely designed for authors to promote books and events and provide reviews. The theme pack is easy to use and creates beautiful results. I love using the Bookwise theme pack and have used it on three separate websites to promote the work that I do."

Here's What People are Saying About Bookwise...
„
Seriously … I don’t know whether it’s your in-house designers or someone you contracted, but 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.

I have spent quite a lot of time over the years looking for an author theme that works for me. I'm so excited to see Thrive Themes has created Bookwise, a theme specifically for authors. You can completely change the look and feel of your entire website while maintaining TOTAL control over your brand, fonts, colors and design.

I love the versatility of the pages. It's nice to be able to create dedicated landing pages for each book from a template rather than having to construct them myself from scratch every time, but it's also nice to have such a high level of control over the customization of those pages so that it feels like mine rather than just being a template.

The first time I checked out Bookwise I was blown away by all its features and the website’s layout. For any author who wants a professional website, Bookwise is the way to go. Bookwise is a conversion-focused website, developed for indie-authors and writerpreneurs. It was designed to connect with your readers and convert visits into sales.

I’m very excited about this! We’ve been self publishing books for 12 years now and this is the first website template that I’ve seen dedicated to indie authors.
We have officially migrated to the Bookwise theme, and I love it!
The lead generation block integrates easily with MailerLite for us to communicate directly with fans when they sign up for the newsletter. Thank you for such a great theme!
