Seamless HostingAuthors integration with email providers for authors

HostingAuthors integration with email providers lets self-published authors sync book landing pages to Mailchimp, ConvertKit, MailerLite and more — capture signups and send automated sequences without coding.

Authors on HostingAuthors see faster list growth and better reader engagement — over 12,000 author sites hosted and many report 30–40% faster ARC and newsletter signups. “I grew my ARC list 40% in a month after linking my ConvertKit,” says indie author Maya Kent.

Start on the free tier and upgrade for advanced features. Paid plans ($9–$29/mo) unlock custom domains, multiple books, blogs, podcasts, bookstores, and enhanced mailing list tools. Ready to connect? Sign up at https://www.hostingauthors.com/.
