About

This is a fansite for American  writer William Styron, who was an excellent novelist and essayist. We have set up this site because we enjoyed his novels – especially Lie Down in Darkness, Sophie’s Choice and Confessions of Nat Turner – and are great fans of his.  We have noticed that there was no web site for William Styron, even though he is a writer of very high standing who has won several prizes for his writing. We think he deserves more of a web presence!

During the last few days we have finalized the creation of what we consider a good looking, serious and attractive web design – including layout, formats, fonts,  etc – for this site. We want to create a site worthy of the author. But the site is still under construction, and we will be adding more content about the author, his books and more.

The site is affiliated with Google and Amazon. You can support the site by using the links provided here. Just to be clear on this issue: This site is not expected to make us money! This is a hobby site for us – we do not expect to be paid for the hours spent on this. The very few dollars we may make on these ads will hopefully contribute towards the costs associated with developing the site, software used and to costs of hosting the site. Basically this is a not-for-profit site.

We hope the site can help to make the literary qualities of William Styron more visible on the internet, and perhaps encourage a few more people to read and enjoy his books!

If you have questions or comments, book reviews, important news,  or stories you want to submit, or want to sponsor the site or post an ad here, get in touch with us at Cindy (at) williamstyron.com!
