Send notifications of your new books & deals to your fans

[Chris]

Hey everyone! As we all know, one of the biggest problem any authors faces is getting their books in front of those who want to read it. Even getting it in front of those who enjoy our work can be a chore!

To that end, I'd like to introduce Book Sprout. It's a new platform for authors to reach their readers right on their modern reading devices. It has the same premise as a mailing list, only on steroids and completely built from the ground up with authors in mind. Here's a bit of what it does:

- Increase sales by reaching 100% of your followers whenever you release a new book or run a deal.
- Reach readers via mobile notifications on tablets/phones/kindles, something that wasn't possible for authors until now.
- Access to data that's specific to authors and critical in making big decisions (such as whether or not to participate in KDP Select).

Since it's still a very new platform, I'm offering authors who join now the opportunity to use it for free forever! If you want more details, feel free to ask me here or head over to the Book Sprout website and check things out!

I hope you enjoy it!

Hi Tara! Unfortunately, I cannot sign you up myself as you need to choose a password when you join, so you'll have to go to booksproutapp.com/publisher/signup to create an account.

As for your promotional opportunity, I'll contact you via email!

Oh that looks interesting. In look at what it does for both authors and readers it looks like you came up with a nice looking platform. Think I'll sign up. :)

[Michelle]

This looks like a possibility. How does it work? Do we enter email addresses from our list to Book Sprout in some sort of account?

[Chris]

Thanks Cindy! I hope you enjoy it.

Michelle: Book Sprout is a completely separate entity from your mailing list. You can tell your current followers that you're now on Book Sprout but there's no way to import followers from your mailing list (I didn't want to ask authors to break the trust of their readers and give me their email addresses).

What a fantastic idea. Well done to the brains behind this one.

Thanks Gabriel! I look forward to working with you. Let me know if there's anything you need help with!
