The free author Web site includes tools for providing real-time news and events about the featured book, content control features like active blog posting, and a portal where readers can purchase and review the book. Additionally, AuthorHouse hosts the site for free.

"We've heard from many of our authors that their author Web site is one of their most effective marketing tools," said Ogorek. "In reality, a Web site isn't a luxury anymore; it's a necessity for effectively marketing your book."

AuthorHouse also is providing authors who choose the Standard Paperback Publishing option 20 free paperback copies of their completed book. Additional special offers are available to authors who want to self-publish (http://www.authorhouse.com/GetPublished/FAQ.aspx) children's books and poetry books.
