For published & self-published authors
Run the author business, not just the next launch month

Reader & contact pipeline (CRM)
Every reader, bookseller, and host in one view
Track readers who signed up at events, booksellers who carry your work, podcast hosts who interviewed you, and reporters who quoted you. The relationships that move books stay searchable, not lost across Mailchimp and a Notion doc.
Events & speaking booking
Your booking page, on your terms
Public scheduling for speaking engagements, bookstore events, school visits, and reader Zooms — calendar sync, intake-form pre-screen, reminders, and SMS confirmations. The booking page goes in your bio, your signature, and every interview.
AI outreach + sequences
The newsletter that actually goes out
Monthly reader newsletters, launch-window outreach to media and bookstores, post-event thank-yous — drafted in your voice, sent from your domain, replies in your inbox.
Reader community
A private space for your real readers
Beta readers, ARC team, paid Patreon-style supporters — a private space with cover reveals, deleted scenes, AMAs, and first-access drops. Direct relationships no algorithm can starve.
Workflows & agent automation
The launch and between-book grind, automated
Book announced → podcast outreach → ARC team activated → newsletter drip → bookstore events booked → launch-week sequence fires. Build the playbook once; let agents run it for every title while you write the next one.
Press & podcast authority
Be the author booked on the right shows
Topic-relevant podcast matches and reporter queries surface in the same workspace, with drafted angles and pitches you review. The interview that sells the book runs on the same platform the readers came from.
Why authors choose Chuhching
Stops the publicist tax (and the five-app tax)
Mailchimp for readers, Calendly for events, Notion for the pitch list, Substack for posts, and a $10-25K publicist for launch — Chuhching collapses that into one workspace where AI agents do the publicist's coordination work under your name.
Agents do the publicity you keep meaning to do
The thank-you to last month's podcast host. The check-in with the bookstore owner from your tour. The newsletter you've been drafting for six weeks. Agents draft these on schedule; you approve in 30 seconds.
Self-pub-or-traditional sized
Either way the publicity is mostly on you now. No agency contract, no monthly retainer — you'll be running real reader outreach the day you sign up. Pricing scales with you, not the other way around.
Approval-first on every word
Nothing reaches a reader, host, or bookseller without you seeing it. Drafts queue for review — Chuhching is your voice multiplied, not an autopilot writing back-cover copy you'd never write.
Frequently asked questions
How is this different from a book publicist?
A publicist runs a 3-month launch campaign for $10-25K. Chuhching gives you the targeting, drafting, scheduling, and CRM under your name — for software pricing — and keeps working for the backlist, the next book, and every reader relationship you build along the way.
Does this work for fiction and nonfiction?
Yes. Nonfiction leans heavier on expert press, podcast guesting, and speaking. Fiction leans on newsletters, ARC team, bookstores, and a paid reader community. The same modules cover both — just configured differently.
My book launched a year ago. Is it too late?
No. Backlist sells when the author is visible. The CRM, newsletter, community, and ongoing podcast outreach are exactly the machinery a steady backlist needs — Chuhching is built for that long arc, not just launch week.
How long does setup take?
About an hour to import your reader list, configure your booking page, and connect your domain for sending. Most authors send their first newsletter or schedule their first event from Chuhching on day one.
What's free to try?
Profile, reader list, booking page, and one community space are free. Paid plans add sending (email + SMS), workflow automation, the patron tier, and AI agents that run on your behalf.
