Why every author needs a mailing list

Readers who sign up for your list are telling you they want to hear from you again. That relationship is worth more than a follow on any social platform.

What a list gives you

• Launch day sales when a new book drops
• Direct feedback from people who actually read your work
• Event fill for signings, webinars, and workshops

How Author Direct helps

Create a funnel page in minutes (/app/funnels), connect it to your CRM, and link it from your microsite. Use UTM tags to see which posts and ads drive signups.

Start with our Newsletter signup template — edit the copy, publish, and share the link.
