Spend more time writing.
Less time juggling tools.
Four jobs every writer's newsletter has to do — grow, send, automate, and prove it's working. AuthorSend does all four without duct-taping five tools together.
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.
- Landing pages and link-in-bio pages with built-in A/B testing
- Popup, slide-in, and embedded signup forms with lead-magnet delivery
- The magnet swap network: niche-matched cross-promos with other writers

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
Niche-matched cross-promotion with writers in your genre — 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.

Matched by genre, list size, and engagement — you approve every swap.
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.
Three plans. Every 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 full access to everything on your chosen plan for 14 days. Cancel anytime during the trial and you pay nothing. After subscribing, you can cancel any time from your billing settings and keep access through the period you've paid for.
Yes. Built-in importers move your readers, tags, suppression lists, and templates from Mailchimp, Kit, MailerLite, ActiveCampaign, Constant Contact, Brevo, and SendGrid — anything else comes in by CSV. Migration is free on every plan, we help personally when anything snags, and nothing sends from AuthorSend until you say so. Plan for an afternoon, not a week.
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, LinkedIn, Discord and Telegram. 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. Social publishing is included on every plan. Instagram, Facebook, 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 niche by relevance score; you approve every swap, and promo campaigns are generated for you.
