A cluttered list can weigh on you more than you expect. If you send your own newsletter and some readers have gone quiet, Email List Cleaner helps you write the emails that win them back. It is made for fiction and nonfiction authors.

Feeling a little rude about it is a sign you care about your readers, and sending mail to people who never open is not kind to them either. Asking first is the gentlest way. Tell quiet subscribers you are cleaning your list, give them an easy way to stay, and say goodbye warmly if they never answer.

A cluttered list is easier to face with a plan. It is a short set of emails sent to subscribers who have stopped opening your mail, asking whether they still want to hear from you before you let them go. You do the removing in your email service.

Yes, your number will go down, and that stings. The people who leave were not opening your emails, and the people who stay chose you again. Your list gets smaller and truer.

Many authors start with people who have not opened anything in six to twelve months, and your email service can usually build that group for you. Email List Cleaner does not choose recipients, so you decide who gets the sequence and send it to that group, not to your whole list.

Wanting to keep everyone is natural, and it is still worth letting go. Someone who ignored a direct question about whether they want your emails has answered it. Your email service does the unsubscribing, so plan that step before you send.

Everyone wants their email to reach the inbox. Mailbox providers do pay attention to whether readers open your mail, and many email services advise trimming people who never do. No tool can promise inbox placement, though, and Email List Cleaner does not. You get a kind way to part with quiet subscribers, and the inbox decision stays with the mailbox providers.

Watching the bill climb with your list is stressful. If your email service charges by number of subscribers, removing people who never open can lower what you pay. How much depends on your service's pricing and how many people leave, and Email List Cleaner promises no savings.

Many authors tidy once or twice a year, and the weeks before a launch are a popular time. Run it again whenever your list starts to feel heavy.

No, and you stay in control of who hears from you. You send the emails from your own email service and do any removing there. You can use it with any email service, such as Kit, MailerLite, or Mailchimp, because you copy the text over yourself.

A stiff goodbye is a fair worry, because your readers will hear every line as you. Treat the first draft as a starting point. Ask for changes in the chat and edit until it sounds like you.

Plenty of authors are still writing theirs. Paste a short bio and a sentence or two about what your newsletter sends.

Whatever you write, you can use it. Any author with their own newsletter can run it, whether you self-publish or work with a publisher.

When you are starting out, every name feels precious, and that is a good instinct. A small list that mostly reads your emails may not need cleaning yet. This tool is for the day many subscribers have gone silent and the list feels heavy.

Those emails greet new readers or keep current ones close. When readers have stopped opening, this is the moment to reach for it. Drip Email Sequencer helps with the welcome series, and Email Drafter helps with the monthly newsletter.

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.

Email List Cleaner 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.
