For people who publish and promote their own work
One calm surface for all of it. Schedule to 15 platforms, run your ads across seven networks, answer every reader from one inbox, and know which book every dollar sells.
First, the part nobody says out loud
The problem
You didn't sign up to run a media company. But every book, every product, every launch quietly hands you one.
Post here, resize there, paste the caption again. Every platform wants its own ritual, and the ritual eats the morning you meant to spend on your actual work.
Meta says one thing, Amazon says another, and none of them will answer the only question that matters: which book did this dollar actually sell?
DMs on Instagram, comments on TikTok, reviews on Google. By the time you find them all, the moment to reply has drifted past.
One login. One calendar, one ads dashboard, one inbox, one creative studio, and one AI that can drive all of it. Built for authors and self-publishers first, and for anyone who publishes and promotes their own work.
Publish
Write once and it takes shape for each platform. Fifteen of them, including Discord, Telegram, and WhatsApp. Queues post at your best times, campaigns plan a whole launch in one pass, and the calendar shows the month at a glance.

$20/month add-onOne dashboard for Meta, Google, TikTok, LinkedIn, Pinterest, Amazon, and ChatGPT ads. Every campaign maps to a book, so the spend mystery ends: you know which book every dollar sells. AI reads the numbers and hands you plain-language recommendations with a clear verdict on each campaign.
Engage
Included with every planDMs, comments, and reviews from every connected platform land in one place. Build automations in a visual flow builder, the kind other tools sell as a separate product. Analytics rides along too, so you can see what actually worked.

The flow behind it
Creative Studio
The studio reads your brand guide before it draws a single pixel. Generate images, video, and carousels for social or ads, grounded in your voice, your covers, your genre. Twelve images a day are on us.
Auto-sized for every platform and every ad slot. 12 free images a day included, or plug in your own model keys for heavy runs at cost.
Describe the launch and get a reviewed campaign back: copy, creative, and schedule, ready for your edits. You approve every piece before it ships.
Ad drafts stay drafts until you say go. The studio proposes, you decide, and nothing ever spends your budget on its own.
Work from Claude
Author Automations ships a 281-tool MCP connector and an official Claude Code plugin. Tell Claude what you're launching. It writes the captions, builds the campaign, schedules the posts, checks your ad numbers, and replies to comments. Through your account, with your rules.
Book three launches Tuesday. Build me a week of posts, and tell me how the preorder ads are doing.
Drafted 9 posts across Instagram, TikTok, Threads, and Facebook in your brand voice, queued for your best times. Want to review them?
Ads: preorders are strongest on Meta. Amazon is holding steady, and one TikTok campaign has a Fix verdict I can walk you through.
Who it's for
Most tools treat your books like generic products and your pen names like a billing problem. Here they're the foundation.
Two included, each with its own accounts, calendars, queues, books, and voice. Your cozy mystery readers never see your thrillers. More names are $5 a month each.
Paste an Amazon link and the cover, blurb, series, and keywords come along. Posts, templates, and ad campaigns all draw from the same book records.
Brand and prose guides teach the AI how you sound, per pen name and per genre. Captions read like you wrote them on a good day.
The trade
No tool bashing. The old way is just what happens when nobody builds for people who promote their own work.
Pricing
No per-post limits, no feature gates on the core plan, and no AI markup. Cancel anytime.

Questions
A social and ads manager for people who publish and promote their own work. One login covers publishing to 15 platforms, a unified ads dashboard across seven networks, a shared inbox for DMs, comments, and reviews, a brand-grounded Creative Studio, and a Claude connection that can run all of it from a chat.
Everything except paid ads: unlimited scheduled posts on all 15 platforms, queues, AI campaigns, the visual calendar, the inbox with the automation flow builder, analytics, the Creative Studio with 12 free images a day, the books library, post templates, 2 pen names, and the Claude plugin plus API access. Annual is $290, which saves 17%.
The unified ads dashboard across Meta, Google, TikTok, LinkedIn, Pinterest, Amazon, and ChatGPT. Spend and results roll up in one place and map to your books, so you can see which book every dollar sells. You also get AI recommendations, Optimize verdicts on each campaign, and AI campaign drafting with your review before anything runs.
No. The AI drafts campaigns and suggests changes, and you review every piece before it goes anywhere. Nothing launches, scales, or spends without you saying so. That is a hard rule, not a setting.
Fifteen: Instagram (including Reels and Trial Reels), TikTok, YouTube (with Shorts auto-detection), X, LinkedIn, Facebook, Pinterest, Threads, Bluesky, Reddit, Snapchat, Telegram, Google Business, WhatsApp, and Discord. Each platform gets its own optimized caption.
Author Automations ships a 281-tool MCP connector plus an official Claude Code plugin. Connect it once (about three minutes in Claude or Cowork, two commands in Claude Code) and you can write, schedule, check ad numbers, and reply to readers by talking to Claude. It acts through your account, with your rules.
Then you are exactly who this was built for. Two pen names are included, and each gets its own connected accounts, calendar, queues, books, and brand voice, fully separate. Additional pen names are $5 a month each.
Only if you want heavy AI usage at cost. The Creative Studio includes 12 free images a day on us. For caption writing and bigger media runs you bring your own keys (OpenAI, Anthropic, Gemini, and image or video providers) and pay those providers directly. We never mark up AI costs.
Fifteen platforms, seven ad networks, one inbox, one studio, and Claude on call. All for less than the hours it replaces.
