Everything a novelist actually needs and most author templates omit: a bibliography with formats and retailer links, tour dates with real ticket states, and a press kit with three bio lengths a listings editor can copy straight out. Type-only covers so the design does not depend on cover art you may not have.

Built with Astro 7 and Tailwind CSS 4, Marrow delivers exceptional performance with lightning-fast page loads and a modern development experience. All content lives in simple YAML and Markdown files—edit text, reorder sections, or remove entire blocks without touching any code. The template includes a built-in blog with search and filtering, dark mode with persistent toggle, View Transitions for SPA-like navigation, and a fully responsive design that looks stunning on every device.
