Focus on the writing.
We'll handle the marketing.

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

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

Only on AuthorSend

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 thousands of writers — list growth no ad budget can buy.

  • KDP sales attribution

    Sync your Amazon KDP sales and see units, KU page reads, and royalties attributed to each send.

  • Smart book links

    One link for every store — Amazon, Apple Books, Kobo, B&N — with per-store click analytics.

Fair billing promise

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 capability on every plan

Automations, A/B testing, segmentation, and AI are never paywalled. Tiers buy scale, not features.

Writers and creators who made the switch

AuthorSend transformed how I connect with my readers. My open rates jumped 40% in the first month, and the newsletter editor is a joy to use.

Sarah Mitchell

Newsletter writer & marketing coach

The KDP attribution alone is worth it. For the first time in eight years of self-publishing, I know which emails actually sell books.

James Chen

Sci-fi author & writing coach

I found three swap partners in my niche the first week. My list grew more in two months on AuthorSend than the previous year on Mailchimp.

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 every capability: automations, segmentation, A/B testing, landing pages, and the AI assistant. Higher tiers add scale and team seats, not features.

You get full access to everything on your chosen plan for 14 days. Cancel anytime during the trial and you pay nothing. After subscribing, there is a 30-day money-back guarantee.

Yes. Our migration tools import your readers, tags, sequences, and templates, and our team offers free white-glove migration — most writers are fully moved over in an afternoon.

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.

If you sell books on Amazon, connect your KDP account and AuthorSend compares baseline daily sales against the window after each send, attributing the lift — units, Kindle Unlimited page reads, and estimated royalties — to the campaign that drove it. Sell something else? Smart links and conversion tracking attribute revenue from any store or page.

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.
