crewfiction for authors now supports newsletters


One-click book insert in newsletters
Introducing email marketing for authors
Email marketing platforms and tools are built for coaches, creators, and tech companies. Not fiction authors.
So we built something different.
Email marketing designed specifically for authors who write fiction. No generic templates about "webinars" or "lead magnets." No confusing features you'll never use. Just the tools you actually need to sell more books and connect with your readers.
💌 What makes this different:
The first email editor built for authors:
One-click book inserts → Add your books to any email instantly—cover, title, description, buy link, all formatted beautifully
Author-specific metrics and insights (coming soon)
Universal Amazon links for all stores, reader reviews, series, and more—all with a single click (coming soon)
End-to-end workflows and automations → Complete sequences for book launches, Kindle countdown deals, reader magnets, and more—just customize and launch (coming soon)
More exciting author-first features
Plus everything else you need:
Free migration → We'll move your list and emails from the email tool you currently use
CSV import → Or bring your list over yourself in seconds
Everything in one place → Your website, email, and ARC campaigns

What we're asking (*◠‿◠*)
1. Use it. Really use it
Import your list (or let us migrate it for free), send a newsletter, try the one-click book insert. See how it actually works for the way you connect with readers.

how to create a newsletter campaign
(5 minutes: Log in → Import your mailing list or request free migration → Write the email → Add your books with one click → Send)
2. Tell us what's missing
We've built what we think fiction authors need. But you know better than we do—what bothers you about other tools, what frustrates you when sending newsletters, and what's been missing all along.
→ Vote on features & share ideas: crewfiction.featurebase.app
The most-voted features get built first. You're literally shaping the first email tool built for fiction authors.

A LOVELY REVIEW 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
Crewfiction made my life easier!
Crewfiction was the answer I needed! I wanted to simplify my website to something I could manage on my own and not pay for services that didn't fit my author business. I not only wound up with the website I wanted, but a slew of other things that make my work smoother and easier—all in one place. I'm excited to grow with Crewfiction.
