Substack for Authors - The Book
Transform Your Expertise Into a Profitable Newsletter That Sells Your Books
Are you exhausted by chasing Amazon algorithms, posting endlessly on social media, and still wondering why your books aren’t selling?
You’ve stayed up late editing, tweaked covers, tried every “must-do” hack, yet sales are flat and your audience feels scattered. You need a dependable system that connects you directly with readers, builds trust over time, and turns your writing into steady income.
That’s where Kristina God and Fleur Hull come in.
Kristina grew from zero to 20,000+ readers on Medium, then became a global Top 25 Substack bestseller, without a big publisher, fads, or burnout. She published valuable ideas consistently, invited readers behind the scenes, and turned attention into recurring revenue.
Fleur is a 2020 bestselling author, a book marketing coach to hundreds of writers, and the founder of The Substack Bookstore, which she now co-leads with Kristina, where authors have sold hundreds of copies thanks to extra visibility and a supportive Substack community. Her Marketing-First method: positioning, categories, reader-led messaging, has helped indies sell more books with less stress. Together they offer a clear, repeatable path to make your newsletter your most powerful book-selling tool.
