Pre-order pages with launch countdowns, email signups, and automatic reader notifications — turn your launch into an event.
The weeks before a book launch are the most critical marketing window you'll have. AuthorLoft's pre-order system lets you capture reader interest, build your email list, and create urgency with countdown timers — all before your book is even available. When launch day arrives, your audience is already waiting.
Turn your upcoming release into a landing page that captures attention and emails.
Every pre-order signup is a reader who wants your book — and an email you own.
When your book goes live, you already have an audience ready to buy.
