Is there a 5 star rating system on this? Because StoryOrigin is at least 6 stars. At least! I've used the other platforms... and none of them approach the flexibility and power of StoryOrigin
W.H. LockI used to use several sites and groups to facilitate things like newsletter swaps, multi-author book promos, reader magnets, and reviews, but I can do it all and better on StoryOrigin.
A. F. StewartI love StoryOrigin. I've used other sites for promotions and newsletter swaps but this one is easier and more author-focused. Highly recommend for new or serious authors.
Gina KincadeStoryOrigin changed my life, and it's the BEST tool that actually works with increasing sales, subscribers, and reaching new readers.
Anca-Melinda Coliolu... compared to a lot of similar sites designed to help authors, StoryOrigin has the best UI, the most features and a great community of authors.
Dave WalshStoryOrigin is absolutely the must-have author tool. You can build your newsletter list with interested people, sell your books, find newsletter swaps, get reviews, and more
Katherine GilbertWhen talking with other writers about the best way to promote stories, you might hear something like:
I use 1 service to build my mailing list + 1 service to find reviewers + 1 service to manage retailer links + 1 spreadsheet to track my audiobook promo codes + 1 spreadsheet, email, social media, and forms to arrange newsletter swaps + 1 service to create tracking links for cross-promos + 1 spreadsheet for word count tracking.
Then, I also have to keep it all in-sync in a calendar.
It takes hours every week to manage all of this between different logins, spreadsheets, and a migraine.
That's why StoryOrigin exists.
StoryOrigin *does it all* and you get it for one affordable price - saving you time and money.
StoryOrigin is no where near done though.
Our mission is to continue making it easier for authors to market their work.
If you have an account for each of your pen names on StoryOrigin, and you're worried about the cost of upgrading each of your accounts, here's the (very good) deal.
If you upgrade with the yearly billing option on 1 account, you will get a 50% lifetime discount on the yearly option for any additional accounts you set up for other pen names that you write under.
The quick math: $100 / year (for the first account) + $50 / year (for each additional account).
When it comes time, you should email us before you upgrade your 2nd or 3rd account and provide some verification to get this discount at checkout.
