Signup pages

A page for every reason to join.

A reader magnet page that hands readers your BookFunnel link, a call for your ARC team, a plain newsletter signup. Build each one with the same blocks as your emails, publish it at its own address, and every reader lands on the right list with the right tag.

A signup page offering a free novella: a heading, the book cover beside a short description, then first name and email boxes and a Send me the novella button.

Build the page

  • Your book blocks, on a page

    Covers, series grids, buy buttons, images and text: the same blocks you use in your newsletter, in your brand colours.

  • Start from a template

    Three to begin with: a reader magnet signup, an ARC team application and a newsletter signup. Save your own pages as templates too.

  • Ask what you need to know

    Email is always asked and first name is optional. Add your own questions, mark any of them required, and the answers are kept as fields on each reader.

  • Terms they agree to

    Add agreement text with a tick box the reader must tick, which is what an ARC team or a beta reader page needs.

  • Tag on the way in

    Everyone who signs up through a page can be tagged, so you always know which page brought them.

  • Its own address

    Each page lives at penomaly.com/p/ and a name you choose, which stays the same if you rename the page later.

The success screen, and the reader magnet

Every page has two screens: the page itself and what a reader sees after they sign up. Design the second one with the same blocks, or leave it and a plain thank-you is shown.

  1. Paste your own download link

    Your BookFunnel, StoryOrigin, Prolific Works or any other link. A download button for it appears on the success screen.

  2. Or design it yourself

    Add your own buttons with your own links instead, and the automatic one steps aside.

Penomaly does not host or deliver book files. It collects the reader and hands them your download link, at the right moment.

Double opt-in, set per list

Some authors want every new reader to confirm by email; some do not. It is a setting on each list, off unless you turn it on.

  • One button to confirm

    The confirmation email has one button, "Yes, subscribe me" (or "Confirm and get my copy" for a book), and no tracking. Readers waiting to confirm are shown as pending.

  • The download link after the click

    On a list that asks for confirmation, the reader gets the success screen and your download link after they confirm, never before.

  • Imports are never asked again

    Readers you bring from your old platform already said yes. They are never sent a confirmation.

  • Kept clear of bots

    Every form carries a hidden field that people never see and automated scripts fill in, and a flood of signups from one connection is refused.

Plainly ours

Every published page carries a small Powered by Penomaly line, on every plan. The free plan can have one page published at a time, with as many drafts as you like.

Penomaly is in a private beta.

Access is opening in stages, a few authors at a time. Join the waitlist for occasional updates on what is being built and an invite when there is room for you.
