I work with authors who are tired of running their entire business alone. If you’re overwhelmed, stretched thin, and ready for real support in 2026, I have two spots left for full PA services next year. If you want a partner who understands books, launches, systems, and the creative process, let’s talk.

🚨 As a small business owner, whether you're an author, creative entrepreneur, or something else, your website is more than just a digital business card—it's your online home, your marketing hub, and a crucial tool for connecting with your market. But how much should you invest in it?
Here's a breakdown to help you determine what to allocate for your business website:
✨ 1. Initial Design Costs: Depending on your needs, you can expect to spend anywhere from $500 to $5,000 for a professionally designed website. A clean, user-friendly layout that reflects your brand is essential for making a great first impression.
✨ 2. Hosting and Domain Fees: Don’t forget the ongoing costs! Annual domain registration typically ranges from $10 to $20, while reliable hosting can cost between $5 and $30 per month. These are vital for keeping your site live and accessible.
✨ 3. Maintenance and Updates: Budget for ongoing maintenance and updates. This can vary but setting aside $200 to $500 annually for updates, security checks, and content refreshes will ensure your site remains functional and engaging.
✨ 4. Marketing Tools: Consider investing in tools that will help with email marketing, SEO, and analytics. These can range from free to several hundred dollars per month, depending on your needs and goals.
Ultimately, the right investment in your website can pay off in higher visibility, reader engagement, and sales.
So, whether you're just starting out or looking to refresh your existing site, remember that quality counts! 💪

💫New website alert 💫
Loved building this one.
@start_today_harmreduction is a 501(c)(3) run by my friend Sean and his partner Kelley, distributing naloxone and overdose response training at music shows in NKY and Cincinnati.
Minimalist grunge to match the punk flyer energy of the scene they serve.

✨ New site launch for @audreylynnwrites ✨
Audrey to refresh her e-commerce site and I may have gotten a little carried away (in the best way). 🦋
Her brand is all about butterflies and magic, so I made the butterflies actually move across the page. Because why have butterflies if they’re just sitting there??
Her shop is fully functional too. Product pages, cart, checkout, the whole thing. She can sell her books direct to readers without sending them anywhere else. 📚🖤
If you’re an author who wants a website that feels like your books AND a shop that lets you sell direct to your readers, come say hi! I have spots open in June, July, and August and I’d LOVE to build something magical with you.
supporting authors is my favorite kind of community 🦋✨

Feeling a LITTLE emotional over here. My new website is LIVE and I cannot thank Anna with @sedr_studio enough!! After a year of starting this process to rebrand, grow and invest in myself and company, there were some uphill battles and lots of moments that made me want to just give up. 🤷♀️(Being an entrepreneur is not for the faint of heart) - but seeking out partnerships like Anna - especially for a FIRSTtimer elder millennial that needed their hand held thru the digital process- made all the difference! She walked me thru every step of finding my branding, to helping create the design, taking in all of my feedback, and then creating something that is so awesome and beautiful!!
SO EXCITED to have something I’m proud to show clients 👏👏👏 THANK YOU!!

I’m a big reader. And I help authors run their books like a business.
I’m ready for 2026.
This year, I’m putting together a series for authors who are ready to move past the “writing is just a hobby” phase and start building something that actually makes money. Even a few hundred dollars a month changes how you show up.
You’re working hard.
Your book is good.
But are you treating this like a passion project or a business?
Because running a book business has a lot of moving parts. It’s not easy. It can be expensive. And most authors are figuring it out alone.
I’ve got tips, systems, and real talk to help make it feel less overwhelming.
Follow along and save this post.
We’re getting ready for 2026.

Hi, I’m Anna.
34, fluent in Japanese, obsessed with dark romantasy, and powered equally by matcha, coffee, and my unreasonable love of sleep. I read romance, devour Japanese lit, and watch a frankly unhealthy amount of anime.
I’m a PA for authors, and through @sedr_studio I help writers and creative businesses build branding & websites that actually feel like them.
When I’m not working, I’m with my two silken windhounds (@silkencedar ) or buried in a book.
I’ll be sharing more book content, author PA life, and other things in my life.
Can’t wait to be friends.

GUYS!! I’m SO EXCITED to start unveiling my rebrand!! 🤩 Leyla Shay Beauty 💖
Huge THANK YOU to @zestcincy for steering me in the right direction and creating the most beautiful new logo, and to @haileybollingerphoto for capturing these incredible images and making me feel so comfortable in front of the camera 💗🥹
Can’t wait to see it all come together on my new website by @sedr_studio 👏🏽👏🏽
And THANK YOU to all my people — followers, clients, fellow wedding vendors and artists, family, everyone — who even cares a smidgen! It feels really good to be celebrated, booked, and busy🎉🥰
This journey of opening my own business has been so fun- stumbling, learning, and growing - can’t wait to see what the next 5 years bring! Because honestly, what’s the point if it ain’t a just little fun?! 🫶🏻✨
