Getting started with SwapWrite

SwapWrite keeps every newsletter swap in one place: what you send for other authors, what they send for you, and every deadline in between.

Your first 10 minutes

1. Check your schedule. Open Connections → Pen names and confirm the days your newsletter goes out and the placements in each issue. See Newsletter schedules.
2. Add your first swap. Click Add swap, or paste a confirmation email with Add from email. See Add a swap.
3. Set your morning report. In Connections, check the report email and time. See Morning report and alerts.
4. Connect MailerLite (optional) in Connections to build and send newsletter drafts from your swaps.
5. Forward BookClicker emails (optional) to your private address from Connections → Forwarding address, so booking emails arrive for review. See Email intake.
6. Look at What's Next on the main page each day. It lists what needs doing today and this week.

The summary tiles

The three tiles at the top of the main page are shortcuts:

• Due to send opens today's sends in the Daily report.
• Actions due today jumps to What's Next, showing today.
• Hourly deadline alerts opens the deadline alert settings in Connections.

The main tabs

• Calendar: your sends by date, with open slots in color. Partner sends shows when partners send your books.
• Needs attention: swaps missing details. Overdue items are flagged; resolved past items move to the Archive.
• Email intake: booking emails waiting for review.
• Newsletter: build and send each issue.
• Results: how your sent newsletters performed.
• Daily report: a preview of your morning email.
• Connections: report, newsletter, pen name, MailerLite and BookClicker email settings.
