The Problem

Book marketing shouldn’t require 10 different tools.

Most authors piece their marketing together from whatever is at hand. Nothing connects.

Without Storiad

  • Word documents
  • Spreadsheets
  • ChatGPT
  • Email
  • Social media
  • Contact lists
  • Notes
  • Calendar
  • Website
  • Random marketing ideas

Everything disconnected.

What is Storiad?

Storiad is the first complete Author Book Marketing Operating System (OS) built specifically for authors. It unifies goals, planning, campaigns, contacts, analytics, and workflows in one platform. With the Storiad author book marketing OS, you can design, manage, and scale your book promotion without scattered tools, guesswork, or expensive agencies.

So now, instead of juggling disconnected tools and guesswork, Storiad provides you a structured, step-by-step system that combined strategy, planning, content creation, outreach, and tracking so you can run a focused, professional book marketing campaign designed to increase visibility, generate reviews, and drive book sales.

Who is Storiad for?

Storiad is built for self-published authors, traditionally published authors, and publishers who want a structured, results-driven approach to book marketing. Whether you’re launching your first book or managing a backlist catalog, Storiad gives you a clear DIY system to plan, execute, and scale your promotion so you stay organized, reach the right audience, and consistently drive visibility, reviews, and sales without relying on guesswork.

How is Storiad different from other book marketing tools?

Most blook marketing tools are single-purpose (e.g., just ads or email). Storiad is a full OS: strategic dashboard, AI assistant (StoriA), CRM-style contacts database (50k+ media/influencers), automated workflows, custom author websites, calculators (sales, P&L), and measurable analytics—all tied to your book sales goals.

How do I get started with Storiad?

Sign up for a free Storiad Forever Free+ account, add your book(s), set a sales goal with the Book Sales Calculator, and launch a Book Promotion nMotion™ campaign. Follow the step-by-step guides and AI support to build momentum quickly.

How does StoriA (Storiad's AI Author Assistant) help authors?

StoriA is the author's AI-powered book marketing assistant. It helps you write strategy plans, book promotion checklists, marketing & publicity pitches, bios, email outreach, blog posts, social media posts, marketing copy, and much, much more—all based on your book and target audience. With StoriA, you gain 24/7 guidance without replacing your creative control. The more you work with it, the more it knows about your book & target market.

What are the 8 areas of book promotion?

Storiad organizes your campaign into 8 essential areas: Assets (your promotional materials), Market Research( understanding your audience and opportunities), Social Media (building visibility and engagement), Emailing (direct outreach and follow-up), Networking (relationship building), Marketing (campaign execution), Publicity (media and press coverage), and Blogging & Newsletter (content creation and audience growth). With Storiad, nothing important to your book promotion needs gets missed.

Can Storiad help me create a marketing plan?

Absolutely. Storiad is built specifically to help you create a complete, customized book marketing plan.

Using the Target Audience Wizard, you define exactly who your ideal readers are. Then, Book Promotion nMotion uses those insights to generate tailored strategies, planning documents, and step-by-step checklists across all key areas of your campaign >>> from social media and email to publicity and outreach. With StoriA guiding the process, you’re not starting from scratch, you’re building a structured, personalized marketing plan designed to drive real results.
