The first tool that actually fits how I work

Email marketing, e-commerce, and reader engagement—all in one place

I have spent more than 20 years writing and publishing independently, and I have tried nearly every marketing and website tool available to authors. Tertulia changed everything for me. With an ISBN and just one click, it brings email marketing, e-commerce, website management, and reader engagement together in one place.

I have full control of my sales

Since I've upgraded to Tertulia Pro, I've been able to sell my ebooks and paperbacks directly. Not only is it more personal since I can sign them and provide little extras, it allows me full control of my sales.

I sold 100 copies within days of release

I uploaded my ebook and had sold 100 copies within days of the release. Tertulia Pro made it possible to sell my books at a more reasonable price that immediately kickstarted my sales.

Email marketing became simple and effective

Newsletters had once been a scary hurdle for me, but once I was able to handle them directly through Tertulia Pro I was astonished at how simple, easy, and effective it has been.

More time writing, less time managing a website

Over the years, I've had many different versions of my website, but they've always been expensive, time-consuming sinkholes. My new site looks great, is book-forward, and easy to maintain. It allows me to spend less time tinkering with web design and more time engaging with readers and writing.
