Your Entire Newsletter Swap Workflow. Found, Filtered, Signed Up, Written, Tracked, and Optimized.

The Book Promo Command Center is a Claude Cowork plugin that manages your entire BookFunnel and Bookclicker promo lifecycle — from finding the right promos to signing up, writing your swap emails, tracking what works, and building real relationships with swap partners. All across every pen name you write under.

No more spending hours every week hunting for promos, tracking deadlines in spreadsheets, writing swap emails from scratch, and wondering if any of it is actually working. No more accidentally signing up for promos that ban AI content. No more swapping with authors who ghost. This plugin handles the tedious parts — you keep the final say on every decision.

How It Works

Tell it your pen names, genres, heat levels, and platforms. It scrapes BookFunnel and Bookclicker for every promo that fits, automatically filters out anything that bans AI content, and drops it all into an interactive HTML dashboard where you browse, compare, and pick your favorites. When you’re ready, it signs you up via Chrome — with your approval on every click.

Then it builds your confirmed promo links into voice-matched swap emails with reader-friendly hyperlinks (never raw URLs), tracks performance down to the subscriber, and makes sure you never miss another deadline.

13 Features. One Command Center.

1. Setup Wizard — Configure all your pen names, genres, heat levels, platform accounts, and promo volume targets in one guided flow. Works with BookFunnel, Bookclicker, or both.
2. Find Promos — Scrapes BookFunnel and Bookclicker for group promos and 1:1 swaps matching your genres. Filters out AI-restricted promos automatically. Generates an interactive HTML dashboard.
3. Interactive Dashboard — Browse promos on a filterable, sortable dashboard. Click to view on-platform, mark selections, set display text for your email hyperlinks. Copy your selections back to Claude when ready.
4. Promo Hit-List — Scored, color-coded .xlsx spreadsheet ranking the best promos for each pen name based on genre fit, heat match, list size, timing, and monthly target progress.
5. Chrome Sign-Up — Automated sign-up via Chrome with your approval before every submission. Double-checks AI restrictions at the point of sign-up. Captures both admin URLs and reader-facing landing page URLs.
6. Swap Email Writer — Voice-matched newsletter copy per pen name. Cozy gets warm and chatty. Romance gets upbeat and flirty. Dark romance gets edgy and bold. Promo links auto-embedded as reader-friendly hyperlinks — never raw URLs.
7. Performance Tracker — Pulls analytics from both platforms. Click-through rates, download conversion, subscriber acquisition, reciprocity ratios, genre performance, and platform comparison — all in a color-coded .xlsx report.
8. Deadline Scheduler — Automated reminders for sign-up deadlines, share dates, and promo windows. Integrates with Google Calendar. Color-coded by pen name. Weekly promo hunt reminders optional.
9. Swap Partner Tracker — Running database of every author you’ve swapped with. Reliability scores based on reciprocity, on-time delivery, and consistency. “Swap again” and “avoid” tags. Know exactly who to prioritize and who to skip.
10. ROI Calculator — Calculate subscriber lifetime value and see which promos are actually profitable vs. wasting your time. Factors in both monetary cost and time investment. Per pen name, per promo type, with genre benchmarks built in.
11. Promo Calendar — Visual HTML monthly calendar of all commitments, share dates, and deadlines across every pen name. Color-coded, conflict detection, workload indicators, and “emails not yet written” warnings.
12. Competitor Intel — See which promos your genre competitors keep joining. Track recurring authors in your niche to find the high-value promos where serious players congregate. Surface opportunity gaps — promos your competitors are in that you’re not.
13. Reciprocity Checker — Vet swap partners before agreeing. Genre fit, heat compatibility, list balance, AI policy check, and past performance history — all summarized in a clear “Good Swap / Decent / Poor Fit” verdict.

+ Email Performance Feedback Loop — After sending swap emails, pull open rates and click rates from your email platform and tie them back to specific promos. Over time, learn which promo types your readers actually engage with and which ones cause unsubscribes.

Built for Authors Who Manage Multiple Pen Names

Whether you write under 2 pen names or 12, the Command Center handles them all. Each pen name gets its own genre matching, heat level filtering, voice-matched email copy, performance tracking, and promo volume targets. One setup, every pen name covered.

AI Content Protection Built In

Every promo is scanned for AI content restrictions during discovery — and double-checked at the point of sign-up. Promos with explicit AI bans are automatically excluded from your dashboard. Ambiguous policies get flagged with a yellow warning so you can decide. You’ll never accidentally sign up for a promo that could get you blacklisted.

Your Readers, Protected

The Reciprocity Checker vets every swap partner before you agree — genre fit, heat compatibility, list balance, and past history. No more sending scorching dark romance recommendations to your sweet cozy mystery list. No more swapping with authors who ghost. The partner database builds over time, so every swap decision gets smarter.

The Promo Link Pipeline

This is the feature that ties everything together. When you mark a promo as “Applied” or “Accepted” on the dashboard, the plugin captures the reader-facing landing page URL and auto-generates a reader-friendly display name (e.g., “Romcoms for April” instead of a raw URL). When you run /write-swap-email, those links are automatically embedded in your newsletter copy as hyperlinked text. Your readers see “Check out Romcoms for April” as a clickable link — never an ugly URL.

The Math

Indie authors doing this manually spend 3–5 hours per week hunting for promos, checking deadlines, writing swap emails, and tracking results. That’s 12–20 hours per month of tedious work — per pen name. At even $25/hour for your time, that’s $300–500/month in lost productivity.

An author doing 5–10 swaps per month who avoids even one bad swap partner, discovers one high-performing promo type, or catches one AI-restricted promo before signing up has already made this purchase back.
