AI CRM Builder for Self-published Authors
Your self-published author outgrew the spreadsheet. Tell Mythex what you track about readers and which stages a deal moves through, and it builds the CRM around that instead of the other way round.
Who it's for
Small teams at self-published authors who tried a big CRM, used four fields of it, and want something simpler that still keeps history.
What you can build
- Contacts and companies with reader name, email and book
- A pipeline with your own stages, dragged between columns
- Notes and activity history on every reader
- Follow-up dates with a list of what is due today
- A source field so you learn which channel brings readers
How self-published authors work
A self-published author runs a small publishing business alone: writing the next book, commissioning covers and editing, uploading to retailers and print-on-demand services, and marketing each launch. Readers discover them through retailer algorithms, ads, genre communities and newsletter swaps with other authors. Launch weeks and discount promotions bring spikes, while the backlist earns quietly in between. Sales reports come from several dashboards, and reader emails sit with whichever service collected them. Software helps by giving the author a home base they own: a site, a reader list and direct sales.
What crm for Self-published Authors has to handle
- Each reader record should note the signup source, such as a reader magnet, a back-matter link or an event.
- It should record which books and series a reader has bought directly.
- Advance readers and street team members need their own tag and review history.
- Consent to receive email must be stored with each subscriber.
A tip for self-published authors
Tag every subscriber by the book that brought them in. When the next book in that series launches, emailing those readers first gives you the early sales and reviews that help retailer algorithms notice the release.
A prompt to start from
Build a CRM for a self-published author. Track readers with reader name, email, book and signup source, a status, a source and free-text notes. Show them on a kanban board with stages I can rename, plus a table view with search and filters. Add a follow-up date with a "due today" list, an activity history per record, CSV import and export, and user login for the team.
Questions
How can an author own their reader list?
Collect signups on your own site and keep them in your own database. Sending the emails still needs an email service you connect.
Can I import the readers I already have?
Yes. Ask for a CSV import, export your spreadsheet, and upload it. Mythex maps the columns and tells you which rows it could not read.
Can the whole team use it?
Yes. Ask for user accounts and roles, and each person signs in to the published app. Mythex does not charge per seat for the app you build.
Do I need to know how to code?
No. You describe what you want in plain language and Mythex writes the code, shows a live preview, and lets you change things by chatting. The code editor and terminal are there if you ever want them.
Do I have to explain my business every time?
No. Mythex remembers who you are and how you work across every project, and follows the standing notes you set for a project, so you are not re-briefing it in each new chat. You can read, edit or switch all of it off.
How much does it cost?
There is a Free plan with daily credits, enough to build and publish a first version. Pro is $25/month and adds full code editing, GitHub export, custom domains, and credit top-ups.
