Introducing the new post-publication email journey for book authors
At Taylor & Francis, we understand that publishing a book is just the beginning of your journey as an author. Your work deserves to be seen, appreciated, and valued—and we’re here to support you every step of the way. That’s why we’re thrilled to announce the launch of our new post-publication email journey, designed specifically with you, our valued authors, in mind.
This initiative is the direct result of listening to your feedback through our Author Post-Publication survey. You told us what we could do better to improve transparency, communication and visibility of performance.
We’ve stepped up to tackle this head-on, crafting a solution that not only addresses them but also makes sure our communications are meaningful, relevant, and delivered at just the right time.
Here’s what you can expect:
1. Support you can rely on
We know that navigating the post-publication phase can feel overwhelming, so we’ve structured this journey to provide clear, actionable guidance without overloading your inbox. Across 11 carefully crafted emails, you’ll find:
Detailed explanations of our marketing approaches and activities
Direct links to additional resources to help you maximize your book’s reach
A consistent visual identity that builds familiarity and trust
Post information

2. Insights that matter
Transparency is at the heart of this journey. Quarterly impact updates will provide you with meaningful insights into your book’s performance, including:
eBook usage: See how readers are engaging with your work digitally
Citations: Track how your book is contributing to academic conversations
Routledge page views: Understand how your book is performing on our
platform
These metrics represent the foundation of an expanding data program, and we’re committed to continuously improving the depth and breadth of the insights we share with you.
3. Value through engagement
Your voice matters. Throughout the journey, we’ve integrated comprehensive feedback mechanisms to make sure you have opportunities to share your thoughts and experiences. These touch-points allow us to capture and measure author sentiment, helping us refine our approach and better meet your needs.
