Upload your book and get 12 reader newsletters pulled from your own pages: the story behind the story, characters up close, the research that did not fit, and a friendly reminder to buy.
Every author hears it: build your list, email your readers. The hard part is month four, when you have nothing new to announce and a blank draft staring back.
Your book already holds a year of material. Twelve Issues finds it, plans it so nothing repeats, and writes every issue in your voice. You copy, paste, and send.
PDF, Word, EPUB, or plain text. Answer a few optional questions about your readers and where to buy.
We read the whole book, choose twelve angles worth writing about, and match them to the season. No spoilers for the big twists.
Copy each issue into Mailchimp, Kit, MailerLite, or Substack, or download all twelve at once. Edit anything.
Each issue comes with a subject line written to be opened, preview text, a headline, 350 to 550 words, and one clear link to your book.
Everything is drawn from your pages, so it sounds like you and the facts stay true to your story.

That light became Nora’s whole story. Jake is the one who finally noticed it.
If you have read Porch Light Season, you know what happens when he climbs those steps. If you have not, the light is still on.

Yes. Romance, mystery, fantasy, sci-fi, horror, thrillers, historical, literary, children’s and YA all work, and so do devotionals, how-to, history, memoir, and business books. Nonfiction issues lean on key ideas, stories, and practical takeaways from the book.
Yes. List them when you set up your project and the issues will point readers to the rest of the series at natural moments.
Your files are read in your own browser and only the text is sent to us. We use it to write your issues and nothing else. It is never used to train AI models, and we delete it on request.
All of them. Copy an issue into Mailchimp, Kit, MailerLite, Substack, or plain Gmail, or download every issue as Markdown or email-ready HTML.
Monthly is the default, and issues are tied to the season. You can choose weekly or every two weeks when you set up your book.
