Linktree Alternative for Authors
Link-in-bio tools like Linktree let you put one link in your social profile and gather all your accounts on one page. For an author, that page usually wants to show more than links: books, covers and a world readers can explore. yazar.io's Author Card is a profile page designed for authors, and free on both plans.
Why you might be looking for a Linktree alternative
A general link page works the same way for every profession: buttons stacked in a column. For an author, showing books with their covers or inviting readers into your world takes extra effort in that format. And your world lives in one tool while your profile page lives in another.
When Linktree is the better fit
If you want to collect many different kinds of links (a shop, a newsletter, events, videos) on one page, track detailed click statistics or use the page for work beyond writing, a general link tool can be more flexible.
Why the Author Card
The Author Card is an author profile published at your @username address. After the About section come Social Media with platform icons, My Books with covers and My Links for other addresses like your website. Books whose Shareable Wiki you've turned on are listed automatically in My Worlds, so readers can go straight from your card into your world. Customize the look with a profile photo, background and accent color, and reorder sections with drag and drop. You can also generate a QR code to share your card. The Author Card is permanently free on both plans.

What does my Author Card address look like?
It's yazar.io/@username. You can add that link to the bio field of your social media profiles.
Can I see my card before publishing it?
Yes. The card is a draft by default; you can preview it the way a visitor would see it before publishing.
Does my books' content appear on my card?
No. The card only shows showcase details like the book title and cover. A book's world becomes visible only if you turn on that book's Shareable Wiki.
