Spotify for Authors is a new platform for authors and publishers that allows them to manage their presence and grow on the streaming service. The new platform offers access to multiple tools that make it easier for authors and publishers to understand their audience and drive more consumption.
Authors invited by publishers on Spotify for Authors will be offered direct access to important insights, along with growth and promotional tools that will help them tap into larger audiences, including:
Aggregated age and gender demographics that provide more insight than ever before, to let them know who is listening to their content on Spotify.
Redemption codes to share royalty-free copies of titles with reviewers, superfans, and collaborators (if enabled by their publishers).
Promo cards to generate professional and shareable social assets for their titles in just one click.
Early access to author profiles, a new feature rolling out to Spotify so fans can easily discover more about the authors behind their favorite books.
