Email for authors

Sell your next book
to readers who already asked.

A reader magnet capture page, a welcome sequence that introduces your books, and launch-day campaigns to your list. Your list can sit quiet between books without costing you per subscriber.

Retailers own the sale.
You should own the reader.

The Old Way

Store pages never tell you who bought your book
Launch day depends on ads and retailer algorithms
Paying monthly per subscriber during years between books
A newsletter that only shows up when there is something to sell
Advance readers tracked in a spreadsheet

With Lumail

Readers opt in through your book's back matter and website
Launch emails go to every reader who asked to hear from you
Unlimited subscribers; you pay for emails sent
A welcome workflow keeps new readers warm automatically
Tags track your advance readers and street team

Built for writers

Everything between the last page and the next book

Grow a reader list from your books and website, then reach it on launch day.

Reader Magnet Pages

Offer a sample chapter, a short story, or bonus content on an AI-built capture page. Link it from your back matter and website.

Welcome Workflow

Introduce yourself, deliver the reader magnet, and present your backlist over the first weeks with wait steps.

Launch Campaigns

Schedule a cover reveal, preorder, and launch-day sequence in advance and send it to your list or a tagged segment.

Advance Reader Tags

Tag action links let readers join your advance reader or street team with one click, so you can email that group alone.

Plain-Text Writing

Write like a letter, not a flyer. The AI assistant helps with drafts and subject lines while the voice stays yours.

WordPress Form

Author site on WordPress? The Lumail plugin adds a signup form with a shortcode and keeps your API token on the server.

From debut
to backlist.

Book Launch

Cover reveal, preorder reminder, and launch day, scheduled ahead and sent to the readers who opted in.

Reader Magnet Funnel

Sample chapter or novella on a capture page, delivered by a workflow that then introduces the rest of your books.

Advance Reader Team

Recruit early readers with a tag link, send them review copy details, and follow up with that segment only.

Author Newsletter

Writing updates, recommendations, and behind-the-scenes notes that keep readers close between releases.

“Lumail made me like email. It turned email from a side thing into the main marketing channel for my Linkhub business.”

“I was using MailerLite and sending emails was a constant stress. Now my agent reviews it, fixes it, and sends it for me. I've sent over 3 million emails with Lumail.”
