I’d rather be writing. That’s it in a nutshell. And the crew at crewfiction understand this. They are supportive, innovative, and dedicated. Perhaps most of all, they are responsive. Because an author “service” that sends me through a maze only to face the Wizard of Oz behind a curtain, pulling levers and pretending to offer help, is no service at all. And I’m getting tired of promises that only take me away from…writing. So, yeah, I’m in love with the crew at crewfiction, and I’m eager for our future together.

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...

crewfiction cares about the authors using their app! The team welcomed my feedback and made it their priority to roll out additional features requested. A great all-in-one tool!
Danika BloomUSA Today Bestselling Romance Author & Mentor
In the world of author services, I rarely go a week without being pitched something new. 90% of the services seem to be built to serve the developer, not authors. crewfiction is part of the 10% that blew me away.

Sam met with me and my community to answer questions about the way crewfiction supports authors and to ask us for feedback. Within a week his development team had implemented several our suggestions and requests. Within a month, they'd gone even deeper.

crewfiction is blowing me away with their product and how responsive they are to the authors using the features of this new tool.

The team behind crewfiction

Growth experts
300+ book launches
In 2016, we built Viral Loops — growth software that powered over 140,000 marketing campaigns for startups and businesses worldwide. We learned what makes people take action, and eventually exited the company. Along the way, we fell into fiction publishing. Over the past few years, we've managed 300+ profitable book launches — strategy, ads, promos, email marketing. We've seen what works to rank on Amazon. One thing became clear: email is the engine. And most authors are flying blind. So we built crewfiction — the email tool we wished existed.

FAQ

What makes crewfiction different from other email tools?

It's built specifically for fiction authors — not coaches, creators, or businesses.

Three main differences:

1. Built for fiction

  • One-click book inserts (cover, title, buy link—all formatted)
  • Templates for book launches, series promos, reader updates—not generic "webinar" templates
  • Built-in segments designed for fiction (Actual readers, ARC team, New readers, and more)
  • Connects directly to your author website and ARC campaigns
  • You'll use 90% of features, not 10%

2. Author growth network (Coming February)
Grow your list faster with author swaps and group promos. Find authors in your genre to cross-promote with, and join curated giveaways that put your books in front of new readers.

3. All-in-one platform
Replace email tool + website builder + link-in-bio + ARC tool with one platform.

If you're a fiction author who launches books regularly, crewfiction is built for you.

What are author swaps and group giveaways?

Author swaps: Partner with other fiction authors in your genre to promote each other's books to your respective email lists. You feature their book, they feature yours. Both lists grow.

Group giveaways: Join curated promotions with 15-30 authors in your genre. Readers enter to win books, and every participating author gains new subscribers.

Both features are available to Founding Members.

How do I find authors to swap with?

As a Founding Member, you'll have access to our author network where you can discover other fiction authors by genre, tropes, and audience size. We're building tools to make finding the right swap partners fast and easy.

More details coming soon as we roll out these features.

Are any of your authors in my genre? Romance? Thriller? Fantasy?

Yes. We have fiction authors across all major genres using crewfiction: romance (contemporary, paranormal, historical, romantasy), thriller/mystery (cozy, suspense), fantasy/sci-fi, and more.

When you're looking for swap partners or joining giveaways, you'll connect with authors who write in your specific genre — not random authors from completely different categories.

We're growing the network every week, with a focus on romance and romantasy authors first (where we have the strongest community), then expanding across other fiction genres.

How does crewfiction automatically create my website and import my books?

You provide your author pen name, and our system finds and syncs your published books and series from major retailers. Your professional author website—complete with book pages, series pages, and buy links—is ready in under a minute. No manual uploads, no copy-pasting descriptions.

Do I need a separate service to deliver my free books (reader magnets)?

No. crewfiction has book delivery built in. Upload your ebook file directly, and we handle delivery when readers subscribe.

New reader signs up → Automated email delivers their free book → They're added to your list.

Who is crewfiction for? Do I need to be tech-savvy or have many books published?

crewfiction is for any fiction author who wants to grow their audience and sell more books, without the technical headache.

  • Not tech-savvy? Perfect. Our platform is designed to be incredibly intuitive, with guided setups and templates.
  • Just starting out? crewfiction is ideal for building your newsletter and audience before your first big launch.
  • Bestselling author? Our powerful automations will save you hours, allowing you to manage your backlist and reader engagement on autopilot.
Is the Free plan really free forever? What's the catch?

Yes, 100% free forever. No catch.

The Free plan includes:

  • Professional author website and link-in-bio
  • Reader magnet delivery to grow your email list
  • ARC campaign tools to gather reviews
  • Unlimited subscribers (you can build a list of 10,000+ readers on the free plan)

What's not included: Email broadcasts, automations, buy links from multiple retailers (Kobo, Barnes & Noble, Audible, etc.), and author swaps and giveaways. These are for paying members. When you're ready to email your list and grow it faster, upgrade to Founding Member.

We're confident you'll love the platform and upgrade when you're ready to launch.

How do I get started? (And can I see a demo first?)

Getting started is simple:

  1. Sign up for the 14-day free trial (no credit card required)
  2. Enter your author pen name → Your books import automatically
  3. Import your email list (or start building one with reader magnets)
  4. Send your first campaign
  5. If you love it, upgrade to Founding Member pricing

Want to see a demo first? Book a demo with Sam.

14-day trial + 30-day money-back guarantee = 44 days total to decide if crewfiction is right for you.

If I upgrade to Founding Member, can I cancel anytime?

Yes. Cancel anytime from your account settings with one click.

You'll keep the Founding Member features through the end of your current billing period, then your account transitions to the Free plan automatically. Your website, books, and subscriber list stay intact.

No gotchas. No retention calls. No "are you sure?" hoops.

What happens to my price if I'm a Founding Member and my list grows past 1,000 subscribers?

Your Founding Member discount is locked in forever, no matter how big your list grows.

When you need more than 1,000 subscribers, you'll upgrade to a higher tier—but you'll still pay Founding Member rates (15-35% less than regular pricing).

Your Founding Member status travels with you as you grow. The discount applies to every tier, forever, as long as you stay subscribed.

Over 10,000 subscribers? Contact us for special pricing. Founding Member discount still applies, plus you get priority support.

I have [X] subscribers. Which plan do I need?
  • Under 1,000 subscribers: Start with the 1,000-subscriber tier ($22/mo for 3-month plan).
  • 1,000-2,500 subscribers: Choose the 2,500-subscriber tier ($37/mo for 3-month plan).
  • 2,500-5,000 subscribers: Choose the 5,000-subscriber tier ($68/mo for 3-month plan).
  • Over 5,000 subscribers? Contact us for custom "special pricing" with Founding Member discount applied.

Pro tip: If you're planning a major promotion (BookBub Featured Deal, Amazon ad push, big cross-promo), upgrade before the campaign. Don't risk hitting your limit mid-launch.

What's your refund policy?

30-day money-back guarantee. No questions asked.

If you're not happy with crewfiction within the first 30 days of your paid subscription, email us and we'll refund your payment in full.

Combined with the 14-day free trial, you have 44 days total to decide if crewfiction is right for you.

No forms, no hoops, no "exit interview." We'd rather give you your money back than keep an unhappy customer.

Can I migrate my existing email list to crewfiction?

Yes. Two ways:

Option 1: CSV Import (DIY) — Export from your current tool, upload to crewfiction. Takes 10-15 minutes.

Option 2: Free migration service — Email us and we'll migrate your list for you. No charge.

Use the 14-day free trial to test the migration before canceling your old email tool. We'll help you transition smoothly so you're not double-paying.

Is crewfiction only for self-published authors, or does it work for traditionally published authors too?

Both. Here's why email marketing is essential for each path.

If you're self-published:

You control everything—which means you control your success. But Amazon's algorithm changes, ad costs rise, and social media reach keeps shrinking. The only audience you truly own is your email list. Your backlist is your retirement plan. A healthy email list means you can launch a new book and see sales immediately.

If you're traditionally published:

Publishers expect you to market your own books. The days of publishers handling everything are gone. Most debut and midlist authors receive minimal marketing support. What publishers do expect: an engaged email list, an active social media presence, and the ability to drive pre-orders and launch week sales.

If you're pursuing a traditional deal:

An engaged email list is one of the strongest cards you can play. Agents and publishers notice authors who've already built an audience. It signals lower risk and higher potential—which translates to better advances and more negotiating leverage.

Whether you're indie, trad, or hybrid: crewfiction helps you own your reader relationships directly.

I haven't published my first book yet. Is crewfiction still useful for me?

Yes—and starting now gives you a significant advantage.

Here's what most debut authors learn too late: the best time to build an email list is before your first book launches. When launch day arrives, you want readers ready to buy.

What you can do on crewfiction before you publish:

  • Create your professional author website (even before you have books to list)
  • Build your email list with reader magnets—a prequel short-story, or first chapters
  • Create content on TikTok, Instagram, and YouTube shorts, add your crewfiction link-in-bio and start gathering reader emails before your book launch
  • Run ARC campaigns when your book is ready for early reviews
  • Establish your author brand so you're not starting from zero on launch day

The authors who struggle most at launch are the ones who finished their book, hit publish, and then asked "now what?" The authors who succeed started building their audience months—sometimes years—earlier.

Our Free plan gives you everything you need to start: website, reader magnet delivery, ARC tools, and unlimited subscribers. When you're ready to email your list, upgrade to Founding Member.

Start building now. Your future launch-day self will thank you.
