Feature · Author plan
yourname.com on your shelf.
Keep bookshelves.me/you free forever. When the brand needs a grown-up URL, Author plan attaches the domain to the same visual library.
Custom domains are available on Bookshelves Author ($19/mo · $159/yr). You keep the same shelves, buy links, and analytics — fans open your brand URL instead of the default host.

Who actually needs this
Not everyone. That’s the point.
Stay on free / Pro if…

- You’re tired of spelling “slash username” out loud
How it feels day-to-day
- 01
Build the shelf first
Catalog, series order, buy links, newsletter. Domain without a library is just vanity DNS.

Upgrade to Author
Author is $19/mo · $159/yr. Custom domain is the headline unlock — plus priority support and advanced insights.
- 03
Point DNS, keep creating
Fans hit your brand URL. You keep updating shelves the same way. No second product to learn.
