Switching from Kit

Move your Kit list to a platform built for books

Your readers, tags and unsubscribes move over free, on every plan. On this side, your books are part of every email, page and plan, for up to 65% less than Kit at the same list size.

The move

Three steps to move your list

  1. 1

    Export from Kit

    In Kit, open Grow → Subscribers, then the "…" menu → Export subscribers → Export all. Kit emails you a CSV when it is ready.

  2. 2

    Add it here

    In AuthorSend, go to Subscribers → Import and choose Kit. Tags come across with their readers. Anyone who unsubscribed, bounced or complained at Kit arrives blocked, and readers who never confirmed are never mailed.

  3. 3

    Check the numbers, then bring them in

    You see every count before anything is imported, it runs in the background, and the whole import can be undone. Nothing is emailed until you press send.

Rather not do it yourself? Send us the file from the same screen and we run the import for you, free on every plan.

What you gain

Built around your books

Kit is made for every kind of creator. AuthorSend is made for one: the author with books to sell.

A plan for every book

Pick a book and a goal. Quill lays out every email, post, ARC team and to-do on its day, and nothing sends without you.

Your books in every email

Choose the book an email is about and its title, cover and store link fill every block that asks for them.

Reader magnets, delivered

Free books and bonus chapters delivered by email with expiring links, and every reader kept on your list.

ARC teams

Recruit reviewers, send review copies, remind the quiet ones, and see who actually reviewed.

Book links that name the reader

One link per book, and every click resolved to the reader who made it, ready for your next segment.

An author website

A site built from your books, kept current as they change, on your own domain, on every plan.

Switching questions, answered

Yes. Exporting changes nothing at Kit. Most authors import, send themselves a test, and switch over between two newsletters.

No. Readers who were subscribed at Kit stay subscribed here. If you sent from your own domain at Kit, you can on the Growth plan and up here too, so the From line your readers know stays the same.

Sequences, forms and email designs don’t transfer between any two platforms, so they are rebuilt here. Growth includes an assisted migration, where we review your import before you switch, and Pro includes a concierge migration, where we rebuild your sequences, forms and segments for you.

New sending accounts warm up over their first several days, so a large list reaches full speed gradually. If you are moving 10,000 readers or more, email sales@authorsend.com before you switch and we will plan the import and the warm-up with you.

Your readers, your books, one platform
