Build an email list that you own

Subscriber capture forms, reader magnets, and newsletter tools — built into your author site, not bolted on.

Social media followers aren't yours — the algorithm decides who sees your posts. Your email list is the one audience asset no platform can take away. AuthorLoft makes it easy to capture subscribers, deliver reader magnets, and send newsletters — all from the same platform where you sell your books.

Frequently asked questions

Does AuthorLoft replace Mailchimp or ConvertKit?

AuthorLoft integrates with Mailchimp and handles subscriber capture natively. You can use AuthorLoft for basic newsletters or sync subscribers to your existing email service for advanced automation.

How do reader magnets work?

Upload a free ebook (or any file), mark it as a reader magnet, and AuthorLoft shows a download button on your book page. Readers enter their email to get the file — automatically added to your subscriber list.

Is the subscriber data GDPR compliant?

Yes. AuthorLoft uses double opt-in tokens, provides unsubscribe links in every email, and lets readers request data deletion. Full GDPR compliance is built in.

Can I export my subscriber list?

Yes. You own your data. Export your full subscriber list anytime from the admin dashboard.

Which plan includes newsletter features?

Subscriber capture is available on all plans (including Free). Sending newsletters and Mailchimp integration require the Standard or Premium plan.
