Create a signup form

Build popups, slide-ins, and embedded forms that collect readers — and hand out a reader magnet automatically when someone joins.

Forms are how new readers get onto your list. AuthorSend forms live under Forms, and you can place them anywhere — on your own site, on a landing page, or on a hosted website you build here.

Choose a form type

  • Popup — appears over your page after a delay, on scroll, or on exit intent.
  • Slide-in — eases in from a corner, less interruptive than a popup.
  • Inline embed — sits in the body of a page, always visible.

Start from the template gallery, which shows a live preview of the real form as you pick.

Deliver a reader magnet automatically

Offering a free download — a prequel novella, a checklist, a first chapter — is the most reliable way to earn signups. Attach the file to your form and AuthorSend delivers it by email the moment someone confirms, so you never hand out the link manually.

Put readers where they belong

Assign each form to a list or tag so you know where every reader came from. From there, a journey can send a welcome series automatically.

Embed it

Publish the form and drop the embed snippet on your site, or use it directly on an AuthorSend landing page or website — no code required.
