The template for setting up an author web site is excellent. They are available to help when you need it. Humans helping humans...reachable unlike many places.

I was intimidated at the thought of creating a website. My author's website was so easy to set up-no problems at all. I Iove the way it looks, and the ease of managing it.

I wanted to love Tertulia, and while the platform itself has some decent features especially for non tech savvy authors, my experience with their customer service has completely ruined it for me. Permanently. I signed up for an annual subscription but realized after just over a month that it simply wasn't the right fit for my needs. I am an advanced software and website user and it just does not have the features I'm looking for When I reached out to cancel, I fully expected to pay for the time I used. In fact, I explicitly offered to pay for two months and simply requested a pro-rated refund for the remainder of the annual fee. Instead of demonstrating basic customer-friendly flexibility and goodwill, Tertulia strictly hid behind its rigid, uncompromising refund policy. They flat-out refused to issue a partial refund, locking in my money for a full year of service I explicitly told them I no longer wanted to use. It is incredibly frustrating when a company cares more about trapping you in an annual charge than retaining good faith with its users -- especially for something like software. If a customer is willing to pay fairly for what they’ve consumed, denying a pro-rated refund feels like a money grab. This is a perfect example of a capitalistic company adamant on screwing the customer over a measly $191.88 I highly recommend potential users tread carefully before handing over your credit card information. Don't be fooled by their marketing and "social proof" brands on their website like the New York Times. Proceed with caution.
Response from Tertulia for AuthorsJul 2, 2026
We're genuinely sorry to hear that Tertulia wasn't the right fit for your workflow. As you mentioned, our platform is designed to make it easy for authors to launch a professional website and storefront without needing technical expertise, so we understand that authors who prefer a developer-oriented solution may have different needs. We also understand your frustration regarding our annual subscription policy. Before subscribing, all authors have 2 weeks to use the product to make sure that they are ready to commit to a subscription. We also offer a monthly option, as we know that can be more comfortable for some people who would rather try out the service first. Finally, our policy of no refunds on annual subscriptions helps us keep pricing predictable and affordable for all authors, and we apply it consistently to every customer given that we offer a free trial and monthly option. We appreciate that you offered to pay for the time you used the service, and we recognize that reasonable people can disagree about subscription policies. While we weren't able to make an exception in this case, we never want anyone to feel misled or "trapped." We work hard to communicate our terms upfront so authors can choose the plan that's right for them. We sincerely appreciate that you gave Tertulia a try and wish you the very best with your publishing journey.

I did not get the coverage I expected. I cancelled my account. Over a year later my bank account was his hit with a "recurring" $15 fee. I can no longer contact the company through any means.

Hi Rodney, we see that there was a $15 fee on your account because you never cancelled the domain that you purchased. We will certainly go ahead and cancel that domain registration on your behalf. We're sorry to hear that Tertulia didn't work out for you - but we can be contacted at any time at [email protected].
