Hi, I'm Thomas Umstattd Jr.


I host the longest-running book marketing podcast in the world, Novel Marketing. I also host the Christian Publishing Show.

I used to run a web design agency that specialized in author websites.

Now I help authors all over the world build their platforms, sell more books, and change the world with writing worth talking about. 

Over the last ten years, I've served as a:

  • marketing director for a traditional publishing company.
  • literary agent.
  • indie author.
  • webmaster.
  • podcast host.

I've learned what works and what doesn't, and I can help you build a website. It is a lot easier than you think, if you have someone to show you the way.
