Whether you're a debut novelist or a seasoned nonfiction writer, building a direct connection with your readers is one of the most valuable things you can do for your career. AuthorSend makes that easy.

Create Your Account

Head over to our signup page and create your free account. You'll be guided through a short onboarding wizard that helps us tailor the experience to your needs as an author.

Once you're in, you'll land on your dashboard — your home base for managing readers, crafting newsletters, and tracking engagement.

Import Your Readers

Already have a mailing list? Great. AuthorSend supports CSV imports from all major platforms including Mailchimp, Kit, and Constant Contact. Just upload your file and we'll handle the mapping.

If you're starting fresh, you can create a signup form and embed it on your website or share it on social media.

When you're ready, preview your email, choose your audience, and hit send. It's that simple.
