👋 We just opened the crewfiction author community

We wanted a home for fiction-author conversations. So we started one on Facebook.

It's a space to:

• Swap what's actually working in your genre: launches, campaigns, newsletters, covers, giveaway results, experiments

• Get early access to giveaway cohorts: new slots get posted in the group before they go anywhere else

• Talk to the team: Tom, Savvas, and Sam are all in there, and we'll be hosting monthly AMAs

• Meet the founding members: we're small and active right now, which is the best time to join

A LOVELY REVIEW 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 

Makes marketing so much easier

It's wonderful to see a platform for authors that offers so many features and can minimize the time spent on marketing. They met with my writer community to introduce the features and answer questions, and the authors in attendance were blown away.

You can tell they are genuinely excited to keep developing their platform and be of service to authors. Book marketing can be overwhelming, and it can be hard for authors to know which online services and platforms are reputable. I'm happy to point them toward Crewfiction.
