Spend more time writing.
Less time juggling tools.
Six jobs every writer's marketing has to do — plan, grow, send, post, automate, and prove it's working. AuthorSend does all six, and your website too, without duct-taping five tools together.
A marketing plan for every book
Pick a book and say what you're going for. Quill lays out the whole run: every email, every post, the ARC team, the free chapters, the landing page, and the few things only you can do, each on its day. You keep what you want; nothing sends without you.
- Six goals: launch it, fill preorders, get reviews, grow my list, sell the backlist, keep in touch
- Every step is a real draft in the editor it belongs to, or a dated to-do with a how-to
- This week on your home screen and one short note every Monday, with anything behind at the top
Grow a reader list you own
Algorithms change. Your email list doesn't. Capture readers everywhere they find you and turn casual browsers into a direct line you control.
- An author website on your own domain, with book pages that fill in from your catalog
- Landing pages, link-in-bio pages, and popup or embedded forms with lead-magnet delivery
- The magnet swap network: niche-matched cross-promos with other writers
Send newsletters readers actually open
A drag-and-drop editor with ready-made templates, an AI assistant trained to sound like you, and deliverability infrastructure that keeps you out of spam. Then the same draft goes out to your followers, without you writing it twice.
- Book and product blocks, launch templates, and reusable saved sections
- AI subject lines and drafts that follow your brand voice
- Social posts from the same draft — Bluesky, Mastodon, Telegram, Instagram, Facebook Page and Threads — scheduled and published for you
- Reputation-isolated sending infrastructure that protects your delivery
Your social posts, from the same draft
Press one button on an email and Quill writes a post for Bluesky, Mastodon, Telegram, Instagram, Facebook Page and Threads, each in that platform's own register, with a time suggested around the send. Set your posting rhythm once; every post reports its likes, reposts and clicks to the book.
- One post, every destination — each checked against its own limit while you type
- A tease before the email goes out and a promo after it, written from the email itself
- Likes, reposts and clicks to your book on every post, and email-versus-social by book
Automate the busywork between launches
Welcome new readers, deliver lead magnets, and warm up launch lists while you're working on your next big thing. Set it up once; it runs for every new reader.
- Visual journeys with triggers, waits, and open/click branches
- Nested and/or segmentation across engagement, activity, book status, and custom fields
- Live match counts before you hit send — no more guessing
Know which emails drive results
Every platform shows opens and clicks. AuthorSend tells you which subscriber clicked, and which email sent them.
- One book link per title, pointing wherever you sell — every click tied to a subscriber
- Landing-page signups attributed back to the campaign
- A custom report builder with saved, exportable reports
One book in. An email, a website, the posts and a launch page out.
Everything below came out of AuthorSend for one sample author’s book: the same screens as above, the same afternoon.
The email, as it arrived
The website
The posts, previewed per destination
The launch page
If you write, you’re an author
The “author” in AuthorSend isn’t reserved for novelists. If you put words in front of an audience — a coaching note, a course launch, a sales sequence, a Sunday newsletter — you’re authoring, and this is built for you.
- Coaches & consultants
- Course creators
- Newsletter writers
- Nonfiction authors
- Bloggers & creators
- Marketers
- Novelists
Built for writers, from the ground up
Generic email platforms treat your launch like a shoe sale. AuthorSend speaks your language — readers, not contacts; launches, not blasts — and ships tools no general-purpose platform has.
Magnet swap network
Genre-matched cross-promotion with other writers — list growth no ad budget can buy.
Smart book links
One short link per book, pointing wherever you sell — a store page, or the universal link you already use. Every click resolves to the subscriber who made it and the send that drove them.
Pricing that doesn't punish you for growing
Most platforms quietly bill you for unsubscribed contacts and meter every send. We wrote the opposite into our billing code.
Only active readers count
Unsubscribed and deleted readers never appear on your bill. Prune freely.
Unlimited sends on every plan
No send credits, no per-email metering. Launch week costs the same as a quiet month.
No overage fees, ever
Outgrow your tier and we ask you to upgrade — we never surprise-charge or delete readers.
Every core feature on every plan
Automations, segmentation, form and page A/B testing, and the AI assistant come on every plan. Higher tiers add scale, a custom sending domain, and the custom report builder.
No testimonials yet.
We’d rather earn them.
AuthorSend is new. Instead of renting a wall of five-star strangers, here is what we can actually show you — checkable claims, enforced in code.
Billing that argues for you
Unsubscribed and bounced readers drop off your bill the moment they leave. Not a policy page — a WHERE clause in our billing queries.
Reports that admit ignorance
Engagement rates divide by delivered, not sent, and a result we can’t measure reads “no data” — never an invented number.
A person answers
Every support message lands with the people who build the product. When something snags during your migration, you talk to us, not a tier-1 script.
Four plans. Every core feature. No surprises.

Frequently asked questions
Not at all. AuthorSend is for any writer with an audience — novelists and nonfiction authors, yes, but also coaches, speakers, pastors, newsletter writers, and marketers. Starter at $19/month is built for writers growing their first list, and it includes the core toolkit: automations, segmentation, A/B testing on forms and pages, landing pages, and the AI assistant. Higher tiers add scale, a custom sending domain, and the custom report builder.
You get everything on your chosen plan for 14 days, and you don't need a card to start. Build your website and your first newsletter for free; when you publish or send to readers, you add a card, and nothing is charged until the trial ends. Cancel before then and you pay nothing. After your first payment there is a 30-day money-back guarantee, and you can cancel any time from your billing settings and keep access through the period you've paid for.
Yes, and it’s free on every plan. Export your list from Mailchimp, Kit, MailerLite, ActiveCampaign, Constant Contact, Brevo, SendGrid, or anywhere else that gives you a CSV, add the files in AuthorSend, and your readers, tags, lists, and unsubscribes come across in minutes — you see every count first, and you can undo it. Rather not do it yourself? Send us the files from the same screen and we do it. Nothing sends from AuthorSend until you say so.
Only active readers. Unsubscribed and deleted readers never count toward your bill — that rule is enforced in our billing code, not just promised on this page.
Each book gets one short link you point wherever you sell — including the universal book link you already use. Every click resolves to the subscriber who made it, and landing-page signups tie back to the send. So your report shows who acted, not just how many opened.
Yes — to Bluesky, Mastodon, Telegram, Instagram, Facebook Page and Threads. Your campaign becomes posts written to fit each one, scheduled on the rhythm you set, and published for you; it isn’t a reminder to go and do it yourself. Every post reports its likes, reposts and clicks to your book. Social publishing is included on every plan — Buffer bills $5–6 per channel per month, so six destinations there cost more than our whole Spark plan. X, TikTok and Pinterest are not supported: some sit behind platform approvals we haven’t cleared, and others have closed their APIs to tools like ours.
A built-in marketplace where writers cross-promote their lead magnets. AuthorSend matches you with writers in your genre by relevance score and writes the promo email for you. Every match waits for your approval before anything reaches your readers, unless you choose to turn on auto-approve.
