Pretty emails are nice. Emails that make money are better.

Since she took over my campaigns in November 2024, my emails have been giving main character energy—and the proof is in the receipts. Her campaigns alone have pulled in over $8K in sales. She gets my voice, she gets my readers, and she makes me money while I'm over here writing spicy billionaires.

Flows that pay for themselves — and then keep going.

I hired Natalie to help me with my email flows, and wow—she absolutely nailed it. Her passion for flows is infectious—this is 100% her jam, and now it's my butter (pun fully intended). Since implementing the retargeting flows she created, I've recovered over $4,600 in sales—meaning her service paid for itself and a whole lot more. On top of that, the popup she designed has generated over $2.5K in sales, and it's still going strong. If you're looking for someone who gets flows, brings energy to the process, and delivers real results, Natalie is your girl.

The problem

Your email list shouldn’t just hear from you on release day.

Most authors have a reader list worth real money and only email it when a book launches, a backlist title goes on sale, or the newsletter guilt kicks in.

  • Welcome emails that stop after delivering the free book
  • Abandoned carts generating no follow-up revenue
  • New customers receiving the same emails as longtime readers
  • Launch emails written at the last minute
  • Backlist books being ignored
  • Emails that sound generic or overly salesy
  • Strong lists producing weak click and purchase rates

You don’t necessarily need more subscribers. You may need a better system for turning the readers you already have into buyers.

Have we worked together before?

Your email system already has a foundation.

If I previously built or overhauled your email automations, you may not need one of the complete system packages above. Returning author refreshes and custom overhauls are available for established flows that need updated strategy, refreshed copy, new product paths or a partial rebuild.

Email me at hello@emailsthatsellbooks.com with your pen name, storefront URL, email platform, the approximate year we worked together and what you would like updated. I’ll review your existing system and recommend the most appropriate next step.

Request a Flow Refresh

Before we build

The right flows begin with the right technology.

Your email platform must be able to receive reliable customer, product, order, and shopping-behavior data from your store. That information determines which automations can be built and how personalized they can become.

Shopify stores

I currently build complete ecommerce flow systems in:

  • Klaviyo
  • Omnisend
  • Spoks

WooCommerce stores

I currently build complete ecommerce flow systems in:

  • Klaviyo
  • Omnisend

Hosted and third-party storefronts

If you sell through a hosted or third-party storefront that you do not fully control, your available automations will depend on the customer and purchase data that platform can send to your email provider.

Welcome sequences, reader nurture, launch sequences, interest-based automations, and selected post-purchase emails may still be possible. Browse abandonment, cart recovery, product-specific segmentation, and other behavioral flows cannot be guaranteed without a compatible store integration.

Your storefront and email-platform compatibility will be reviewed before your project is accepted.

A note about Shopify Email

I do not build my advanced flow packages inside Shopify Email. Its native automation and segmentation capabilities do not currently support the scope, behavioral targeting, and customization included in my services.

Platform recommendations

Klaviyo is powerful, but it is not automatically the right choice for every author. Your store revenue, list size, catalog, products, traffic sources, automation needs, and monthly software budget will all be considered before I recommend a platform.

Platform subscription fees are paid directly by the client and are not included in my service pricing.

Natalie Knight, author and email marketing specialist for authors who sell direct

Why me

I don’t just market books. I sell my own.

I’m Natalie Knight — author and email marketing specialist. I’ve been selling books directly to readers for several years, so I know what it takes to manage a backlist, plan a release, nurture readers and run a store selling both digital and physical products.

I’ve built and managed campaigns and automated flows for authors across fiction genres. The work combines strategy, voice-matched copy, branded visuals, customer behavior, segmentation and real direct-sales experience.

My goal isn’t to make every client sound like me. My job is to understand what makes their books and readers different, then build emails that sound unmistakably like them.

TCAA Certified Digital Marketing Copywriter

Why Authors Choose Me

Your voice stays. Your email strategy starts pulling its weight.

01

Author-specific experience

I understand launches, tropes, backlists, reader magnets, BookFunnel delivery, direct stores, and the difference between a subscriber and a buyer.

02

Voice-matched copy

Clients repeatedly say that I capture their tone, energy, personality, and relationship with their readers.

03

Strategy and implementation

I do more than hand over a document. I plan, write, design, build, test, and organize the complete system—so you aren’t left trying to implement a strategy document by yourself.

04

Revenue-focused emails

Every subject line, preview text, hook, button, and automation has a job. The goal is stronger engagement, more clicks, and more direct sales.

Reader markets

Genres I know how to sell.

I work outside these categories too — but these are the reader markets I understand especially well.

  • Contemporary Romance
  • Dark Romance
  • Romantasy & Paranormal Romance
  • Cozy Mystery
  • Women’s Fiction

Re: Emails That Sell Books

I created my store this year, and did the Basic Overhaul package with Natalie. She was fast, efficient, and great to work with. She eliminated any stress I had by building the flows and crafting all the ad copy. It was amazing. And on top of that, I'm already seeing results! I'll definitely be back for the larger packages once my store grows. I highly recommend using her services.

Featured Review

From automation dread to sales in 24 hours.

“Natalie’s automation and copywriting skills are magic! If you’re struggling with your Shopify store and have no idea where to begin, this is where you should start. I’ve known how great automations are for shopping (because they always get me with those coupons!), but I didn’t have the brain power to set it up, test it, and rewrite my copy. Blah. I’d rather be writing books! Natalie was not only patient and kind but also lightning-fast! The process was 100% painless, and no brain cells were lost. Within 24 hours of it being set up, I had sales on my site from new customers! I highly recommend this service. She is the copywriting fairy godmother who turned my website pumpkin into a golden carriage!”
