Storiad launches Author Marketing OS to streamline book promotion

Charleston, South Carolina, September 4, 2026, Storiad, a software company specializing in author tools, has introduced the Author Marketing OS, a comprehensive system designed to streamline the marketing process for book authors. This new platform aims to provide a unified solution for planning, executing, and managing book marketing, addressing the fragmented nature of current tools available to authors.

Traditionally, authors have relied on a patchwork of tools for their book marketing efforts, including social media platforms, email services, and advertising platforms. However, these tools often remain disconnected, leaving authors to navigate the complexities of book promotion on their own.

Ramzi S. Hajj, founder of Storiad, explains the necessity for such a unified system. "Authors are expected to market their books like businesses, but they've never had that kind of software businesses use to manage their marketing," he said. "We've had writing software. We've had publishing software. We've had thousands of individual marketing tools. What we've been missing is an operating system for the whole job of marketing a book."

The Author Marketing OS is designed to tackle the multifaceted nature of book marketing, which involves identifying target readers, establishing marketing goals, developing a strategy, creating promotional materials, and following up with relevant contacts. Previously, these tasks were handled across multiple tools and services, leading to inefficiencies.

At the heart of the Author Marketing OS is Book Promotion nMotion™, a proprietary system that helps authors transform marketing strategies into actionable campaigns. This system organizes promotion around eight core areas: Promotional Asset Creation, Market Research, Social Media Management, Emailing & Follow-up, Networking, Marketing, Publicity, and Blogging & Newsletter. For each area, authors can develop strategies, planning documents, and step-by-step checklists to guide their campaigns from ideas to action.

Storiad's platform also includes a Book Sales Calculator, which helps authors set specific sales targets and understand the marketing activities needed to achieve them. The platform provides CRM-style contact management, a database of over 52,000 verified book promotion contacts, marketing planning tools, email outreach, social media tools, an author website builder, a press room, publicity resources, and campaign management tools.

"The ultimate goal is to make book marketing something an author can learn, organize, execute, and improve upon over time," Hajj said. "We want to help authors take control of their book marketing and sell more books."

The Author Marketing OS also integrates StoriA, Storiad's AI Author Assistant, which aids authors in developing marketing materials and determining next steps. "AI is excellent at creating content, but the bigger questions center around who to reach, what to say, and what to do next," Hajj noted. "That's where we think AI can be most useful."

Storiad's platform has been in use by thousands of authors, providing real-time experience in addressing the practical challenges authors face when promoting their books. By offering a cohesive system, Storiad aims to simplify the book marketing process and empower authors to maximize their sales potential.

"We believe the solution is not another standalone marketing tool," Hajj said. "It's a system that can help authors manage and optimize their marketing efforts effectively."

Storiad, the first Author Marketing Operating System, is dedicated to helping published authors plan, execute, and manage their entire book marketing lifecycle in one place. The platform combines marketing strategy, structured workflows, AI-powered assistance, CRM-style contact management, research, outreach, and campaign execution.

Storiad's mission is to help authors sell more books.
