Email marketing,done for you.

Retention strategy

The email list gets more valuable when it stays warm between launches.

Good email systems do more than collect addresses. They create a repeatable rhythm that keeps readers engaged, segments them intelligently, and gives each new book a stronger starting point.

Use the welcome flow to establish voice and reading order early
Segment readers so launch messages feel more relevant, not broader
Bridge the quiet months with value, updates, and catalogue pathways
Treat launch emails as one phase of a longer retention system

Lead magnet flow

The opt-in path should make the free offer feel worth taking while setting the right expectation for what subscribers will receive next.

Best use

Best when list growth is a current bottleneck and signup intent needs more structure.

Welcome sequence

The early emails establish voice, trust, reading order, and the first commercial bridge so new subscribers do not go cold after joining.

Best use

Best when the author needs a stronger first impression and clearer next step.

Retention and launch

Nurture and sales sequences keep the list active between books, then convert warmer attention into launch-day momentum when the next release arrives.

Best use

Best when the list already exists but is underused or inconsistent.

“This team was amazing. I cannot say enough about them. When I tell you how much they have poured into my life, you wouldn’t believe it. They were encouraging, supportive, they were patient,, and they were very respectful to what I was trying to figure out during this process. I have another project coming up, they are the one for me. I felt that we were so aligned, I was at peace when I talked to anyone member of the team. At the end of any conversation I have had with them, they all always end with some type of encouraging words. Sorry, I didn’t mean to be this long on here, but I just had to share the amazing work this team is doing. You can feel they do care when they sent an email. I think God knows exactly who I needed for this project, and He gave them. The book is now published, great job. Thank you, thank you. May God continue to bring people to you because you are doing an amazing job through your work. Lucie”

“I'm a first-time book publisher, and I could not have found a better partner than HMD Publishing. They did both my cover design and the work of uploading the manuscript to Amazon KDP and IngramSpark. The team was consistently knowledgeable, professional, responsive, detail-oriented, courteous, and above all patient. I had dozens of questions as we worked through the process, and they answered each one thoroughly and without ever making me feel ridiculous for asking. My book launched two days ago, and HMD has my highest recommendation for anyone looking for professional services to help make your writing dreams come true.”

“More like a 4.9! It was easy to work with the team and the cover design was absolutely fantastic! I offered inspiration and they made magic! My only complaint is the back cover design. I wanted a mix of synopsis and author bio but deferred to their expertise, even though I provided examples of what I wanted they offered their professional opinion. The delivery was a few hours past the agreed time but in the end all worked out and I am pleased with the experience and the delivered product. And I definitely feel like it was well worth the price!”

“Thank you so much to the HMD Publishing Team! They have been amazing throughout this entire process. I had already worked with them to get my book ready to publish on Amazon but discovered (after the fact) that publishing to PublishDrive had different technical requirements. They were on it! They converted my book to meet the more stringent PublishDrive requirements and HMD Publishing very kindly answered all of my questions regarding the process. Thanks to the HMD Publishing Team’s patience and knowledge, I no longer feel lost in this whole publishing world and look very much forward to doing it all again with them in the future!”

FAQ

Questions authors usually ask before they commit.

Clear answers on timeline, scope, rights, revisions, and what happens after checkout.

Which email platform should an author use?

That depends on the author’s goals, list size, and how much automation is needed. The right platform is usually the one that supports the welcome flow, segmentation, and launch rhythm without adding unnecessary complexity.

Do I need a lead magnet to make email work?

In most cases, yes. Readers usually need a clear reason to subscribe, and a strong lead magnet helps list growth happen more consistently than a generic newsletter signup alone.

What kind of emails do you set up?

The work typically covers welcome sequences, nurture emails, list segmentation, launch or sales emails, and the supporting templates needed to turn the mailing list into a useful commercial channel.

Can email marketing help between book launches?

Yes. One of the main strengths of email is that it keeps the author connected to readers between releases, which helps future launches perform from a warmer audience instead of starting from zero each time.

How do I build an author email list from scratch?

The reliable path is a lead magnet worth subscribing for, a simple opt-in on the book's retail and author pages, and a welcome sequence that gives new subscribers a reason to stay. We set up all three together so list growth compounds instead of stalling after the first few signups.

Do I need my own email service provider (Kit, ActiveCampaign, etc.), or does HMD handle that too?

We handle it. Platform setup is part of every package — we configure the ESP, build the list structure, and write the sequences inside it, so you're not left to learn a new tool on top of everything else. If you already have an account, we work inside it instead of migrating you.

What's included in a launch email sequence?

A launch sequence typically covers a pre-launch build-up, the release-day announcement, and follow-up emails timed around reviews and momentum — written to fit the author's voice and the rest of the welcome flow, not treated as a one-off.

Choose the system that fits the journey

Build the list once, sell to it for years.

If you already know you need a stronger welcome flow and better launch support, move straight into checkout. If the list strategy or lead magnet still needs scoping, start the conversation and we’ll map it properly.

Continue the stack

Add the next layer only when it supports the launch plan.
