Turn your readers into a release-day crowd.
AuthorRally is the launch system built for self-published authors — a real countdown, a rising supporter goal, and one release day where everyone you've ever met shows up to buy. Built for every genre, from cozy mysteries to epic fantasy to picture books.
One flat fee. No subscriptions. Live in minutes.
Drafting longhand on a legal pad at the kitchen table…
…or racing the keyboard at 2am. Either way, this is built for you.
One system. Every genre.
Mystery, romance, thrillers, fantasy, children's books, memoir — if you wrote it, AuthorRally can launch it.

A real, ticking countdown to release day on every page and every message — not a static graphic.

Day one isn't just a party — it's the algorithm.
Amazon's ranking engine rewards concentrated momentum. A cluster of sales in the first 24–48 hours pushes your book toward “Hot New Releases,” a stronger category rank, and more “customers also bought” placements — visibility that compounds for weeks after.
AuthorRally exists to concentrate the readers you already have — your list, your contacts, your followers — into that exact window, instead of letting them trickle in over months.
More reviews. Zero risk to your account.
Amazon prohibits rewarding people for leaving reviews — so we don't. Every reward in AuthorRally is tied to signing up, never to reviewing.
- 1Day 1 After ReleaseA short, personal note asking for an honest review, linking straight to the “write a review” screen.
- 2Day 7A gentle second reminder, low-pressure — one line is genuinely enough.
- 3Day 13A final, friendly nudge before the sequence closes.
- 4Optional Add-OnReaders can opt in for an early (ARC) copy in exchange for an honest review after release — no requirement it be positive.
Simple, one-time pricing
No subscriptions. No monthly fee. Pay once per book — locked in before founding-author pricing ends.
