CALENDAR & SWAPS
Add a swap
From the calendar
- Click a date number on the Calendar.
- Under Selected send, click Book Feature, Book Mention 1 (or another slot), or Add promo.
- Fill in the author, book title, reader link and cover image link, then Save.
With Add swap
Click Add swap at the top of the page. The form opens on the next date with a free slot for the selected pen name, with that slot already picked (or on the selected calendar day, if it still has room). Change the date or placement if needed.
From a confirmation email
- Click Add from email. It opens the Email intake tab.
- Paste the whole acceptance email into the box and click Extract and review.
- SwapWrite fills in the labeled fields it finds (author, title, dates, type, link). Check everything, especially dates written in words or without a year, then Save.
Good to know
- SwapWrite blocks double bookings: the same slot twice on one date, or the same book twice on one day.
- You can only book days and placements your newsletter schedule offers, unless you change that day.
- New bookings can't be placed on past dates.
- For a reciprocal swap, tick This is a reciprocal swap and add They send my book on and My book being promoted so the partner's send appears in Partner sends.
View, then edit
Clicking an existing swap opens a read-only summary, so nothing changes by accident. Click Edit swap to make changes, then Save swap.
