Build a Platform Author BlogPatron tool
Blog Brainstormer: No more posts only writers read.
You open your blog editor and nothing comes. Or you share a craft tip, and only other writers notice. Readers are busy looking for their next book, and you can meet them there with posts they are glad to find and a natural place for yours.
Included with membership at $10/month or more.

You sit down with a blank editor and stand up with posts worth writing.
What changes
Your blog starts to feel like yours
Blogging gets lighter when you always know what comes next. Here is what you can look forward to.
The blank editor loses its grip
Picture an ordinary evening. You open your blog and your next few posts are already waiting, so the first sentence comes easily because the hard part, choosing the topic, is done.
Readers show up, not only writers
You write about books your readers are already hunting for. Your blog becomes a place they are glad to land, not a craft diary only other authors visit.
Your book has a natural place to appear
When you recommend books you love, mentioning your own feels honest instead of pushy. You are useful first, and your book gets its moment.
Every post still sounds like you
You choose the titles that suit you and leave the rest. The picks, the opinions, and the voice are yours.
Right where your career is today.
Whatever season you are in, there is a post waiting for it. Pick the ones that fit the moment in front of you.
While you finish your first book
You can start a blog readers would want to visit before your book is out, so people already know where to find you on release day.
The month your book launches
You introduce readers of similar books to your new release, on a schedule that fits your life.
The long stretch between books
Your blog keeps going while you draft the next one, and your earlier books keep a place in the conversation.
When a publisher handles your marketing
Your publisher may control the cover, the price, and the ads. Your blog is still yours, and you can fill it with posts readers want to open.
Bring your genre. Leave with a list.
You bring
Your genre goes in, as specific as you can make it, and you can add your book’s title and the tropes in your story if you want ideas closer to your book.
Your work stays private. Author Media does not store, track, or view what you post. The AI services use business APIs with privacy set to the maximum.
You get
A list of blog post titles comes out, and you can ask for more in the same conversation.
You get titles, not finished posts. The AI suggests books and authors from its own knowledge and can get a name wrong, so check every one and recommend only books you would stand behind. It does not measure search traffic.
Before you start
What is Blog Brainstormer?
Blog Brainstormer is an AI tool from Thomas Umstattd Jr. that gives novelists blog post ideas built around the books their readers already love.
Who is it for?
Novelists who have a blog or want one, whether they are indie or traditionally published and whether they have no book out yet or a long backlist. It does not need a published book, and nonfiction authors should read the nonfiction answer below.
Does it write the blog posts for me?
No, and that keeps every post sounding like you. You get titles to choose from, you pick the books, and you write the post your way. When a draft is finished, Blog Optimizer suggests titles and keywords for it. If a post starts as a podcast or interview transcript, Podcast Blogifier turns the transcript into a post.
Will these posts rank in Google or show up in AI answers?
Wanting to be found is natural, and no tool can promise that. Readers are always looking for their next book, so posts that help them are the kind worth writing, but search results are never guaranteed. Blog Brainstormer does not check search volume or competition. After a post is live, SEO/GEO Optimizer can review the page.
Does it work for nonfiction?
It was made with novelists in mind. A nonfiction author can try a category such as personal finance, but should expect lists of books to recommend, not posts about the problem the book solves.
Do I need a published book first?
No, you can start today. The book title is optional, and lists of books in your genre give a new blog something readers want before your own book is out.
Should I put my own book on every list?
Your book deserves to be seen, and honesty is the easiest way to get there. Include it where it truly belongs, and tell readers you wrote it. The rest of the list should be books you would recommend anyway.
I write in more than one genre. What should I enter?
Juggling genres is normal. Run it once for each genre, and be as specific as you can, such as cozy mystery set in a bakery rather than mystery.
Is my work private?
Yes. Author Media does not store, track, or view anything you post to this tool. The tools reach each AI through its business API with privacy set to the maximum, so the AI companies do not train on your words.
How much does it cost?
Blog Brainstormer is included with any Novel Marketing Patreon membership of $10 per month or more. That membership also unlocks more than 80 other author tools in the Patron Toolbox. AI tool use draws from your membership’s credit balance, and the amount used varies with the request.
