The short version
Questions, answered.
What is a reader magnet?+
Free bonus content you give readers in exchange for joining your newsletter. It turns a one-time reader into a subscriber waiting on your next book.
What kinds of reader magnets can it make?+
Four: a deleted or extended scene of about 1,800 words, a character interview of about 1,500, a prequel or backstory of about 2,500, and a world or lore guide of about 2,000.
Is it based on my book?+
Yes. Each magnet starts from something in your manuscript: a scene, a character or a location. The world guide also draws on your story bible and notebook.
Will it spoil my book?+
You set how much of the book it may draw on. Passages from the end of the book can be held back, so the magnet does not give away the ending.
How do I deliver it?+
Edit the draft, then export an EPUB ready for BookFunnel or StoryOrigin, or a PDF. Both are styled like your book, with an end page that links to your book and your website.
How much does it cost?+
Generating a magnet costs 4 credits, and so does each regenerate. Editing and exporting are free. The free trial includes enough credits to try it.
