— CUSTOM iOS APPS FOR AUTHORS · LIVE IN 72 HOURS
Authors need their own app.
Your readers live on Amazon's list, Meta's feed, and BookTok's algorithm — three landlords who charge you for reach to people who already love you. An app puts your readership in your pocket: push a launch and ~90% see it. Email manages ~20%.
— SOUND FAMILIAR?
Amazon owns your reader relationship — you can't even email the people who bought your last book.
Launch week lives or dies on an algorithm you don't control and ads that get pricier every year.
Your superfans have no home — they're scattered across a newsletter, a Facebook group, and a TikTok comment section.
— WHAT AN APP UNLOCKS FOR AUTHORS
Own the pocket. Everything follows.
A reader list nobody can take
Every download is a direct line. Push notifications for launches, cover reveals, and preorders — no algorithm, no 20% open rate.
Cover & title testing with real fans
Put two covers in the app, let readers vote in one tap. A/B decisions from the exact people who'll buy — not a Facebook ads proxy.
A launch team that actually launches
ARC delivery, review checklists, share streaks, leaderboards. Your street team becomes a game your fans want to win.
Direct sales & serialized reading
Sell signed editions, audiobooks, or chapter-a-week serials in-app. Keep the margin Amazon keeps now.
The viral utility we'd build a author
Chapter Drops
A serialized-reading engine with streaks: readers unlock a chapter a day, keep reading streaks, and pull friends in for group-read challenges. It's a reading habit tracker your name lives inside.
— GO DEEPER
The math Amazon doesn't want you to run
A $4.99 ebook pays you ~$3.50 through KDP. The same reader in your app buying direct pays you ~$4.50 — and you know who they are. Across a 2,000-reader list and three launches a year, ownership isn't a vibe, it's five figures.
Test covers. Test titles. Test first chapters.
Publishers guess with committees; you can ask 2,000 actual readers in one push. Cover A vs B, two title options, even competing opening pages — a voting utility your readers genuinely enjoy using.
Your backlist is a subscription waiting to happen
Ten books deep? That's a $6.99/month all-you-can-read app for your superfans — serialized re-reads, annotations, bonus epilogues. Recurring revenue from words you already wrote.

— STRAIGHT ANSWERS FOR AUTHORS
- I'm mid-list, not Colleen Hoover. Is an app overkill?
- It's the opposite — mid-list is exactly where owning 2,000 true readers beats renting 50,000 impressions. Your app is a direct line to the people who already convert.
- What about my existing newsletter?
- Keep it. The app sits above it: push gets seen ~90% of the time, and the app gives readers things email can't — streaks, votes, serialized chapters, community.
