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

Three tools you won't find anywhere else
The magnet swap network
The fastest list growth there is has always been writer cross-promotion — but finding partners, vetting them, and tracking results was a part-time job. AuthorSend automates the whole loop.
- Niche-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

Matched by genre, list size, and engagement — you approve every swap.
Track past the click
Every newsletter shows more than opens: smart links route each reader to the store they shop and track the click, and landing-page conversion tracking ties signups and sales back to the send that drove them.
- Per-store and per-device click analytics on every book link
- Landing-page conversions attributed to the campaign, not guessed
- Compare launches side by side to learn what works for your books

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 and per-device click analytics on every link
- Retailer attribution tags carried through 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 creator — which is exactly why our mail lands.
- Reputation-tiered sending: every sender earns their tier, and problem senders can't poison yours
- 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.
