Random House Launch Website Toolkit For AuthorsPosted at 7:20AM Thursday 16 Oct 2008 Random House is preparing to launch an online toolkit which will allow its authors to create their own personal web pages. The toolkit, due for an autumn launch, will enable Random House authors to set up, personalise and update their own web pages and manage their own online presence.Random says the toolkit allows authors to customise their pages with a choice of backgrounds, fonts and colours. Authors can then select different types of content to add to their pages, such as profile or biography information, links to favourite sites, audio and video clips, book reviews, bibliographies, photo galleries, blogs and newsletters. The web pages will be hosted on a community-based website called AuthorsPlace and once authors have created their web pages they can choose whether to interact with other authors on the site, or whether to use their pages as a standalone website. Alternatively, authors can interact with other site users by forming or joining Groups with similar authors (i.e. children's authors), linking to another author's content or posting comments on other author's pages. The AuthorsPlace homepage will list all the authors who have pages on the site and will flag up recently added content.
