Built for authors, from the ground up
Most email platforms were designed around generic use cases — and authors can feel it in every screen. AuthorSend was built for one job: helping authors turn readers into a career — and it shows.
What “built for authors” actually means
Purpose-built software wins when the craft is specific enough to demand it. Publishing is.

AuthorSend
Three tools you won't find anywhere else
The magnet swap network
The fastest list growth in publishing has always been author cross-promotion — but finding partners, vetting them, and tracking results was a part-time job. AuthorSend automates the whole loop.
- Genre-matched proposals scored by relevance — you approve every swap
- Promo campaigns generated automatically for approved matches
- Swap-driven signups tracked so you know which partnerships work

Smart book links
Stop choosing which store link to put in your newsletter. One smart link routes each reader to Amazon, Apple Books, Kobo, or Barnes & Noble — and shows you the split.
- Device- and store-aware routing with a default fallback
- Per-store click analytics tied back to individual readers
- Amazon attribution tags supported for pre-order tracking

Deliverability is why we have no free plan
Free email tiers attract spammers, and spammers poison the shared sending reputation every customer depends on. Every AuthorSend sender is a paying author — which is exactly why 99.2% of our mail lands.
- Reputation-isolated sending tiers, from shared to dedicated infrastructure
- Automatic bounce and complaint suppression before they hurt you
- Guided DKIM, SPF, and DMARC setup for your own domain

Tip: DKIM, SPF, and DMARC verified for elenamarsh.com — your custom domain is fully authenticated.
I've used Mailchimp, Kit, and MailerLite over ten years of publishing. AuthorSend is the first one that feels like it was made by people who've actually launched a book.
And it costs 45–65% less than the creator platforms you'd be settling for.
