What you get
Useful visibility into author-site and book activity. The aim is clear summaries you can act on — not another complicated analytics platform to learn.
How it works
Activity is collected from the same Author site, books and reader experiences you already manage.
- Readers visit your Author site and book pages
- Author Studio records the activity it already collects
- Review summaries, charts and filters in one place
- Use what you see to decide what to improve next
Author site traffic
See whether your Author site is actually being discovered and used.
- Author-site views and visitors
- Traffic over time with a daily chart
- Top pages on your Author site
- Referrers and campaign / UTM activity where present
- Filter by pen name, date range and activity type
- Bot views can be filtered out of the totals
Book engagement
Learn which titles are drawing attention instead of relying only on guesswork.
- Book views on your Author site
- Top books and series for the selected period
- Book, author and series page activity in your catalogue analytics
- Retailer-link and buy-button clicks where those actions are used
Reader offers and reading activity
Where readers use samples, free reads or the online reader, Author Studio can show the activity it already records for those experiences.
- Free-read views on your Author site
- Free-read clicks in activity analytics
- Online reader opens where readers start in the browser
- Newsletter signup activity where that option is used
Sales and orders
Keep an eye on reader purchases without turning Author Studio into an accounting package.
- Basket and checkout views on your Author site
- Order lists and status visibility in Direct Sales
- Recent purchase activity as it appears in your orders area
Useful, lightweight reporting
The goal is useful information for authors, not another complicated analytics platform to learn.
- Clear summary cards for the selected period
- Lightweight charts for traffic and activity split
- Practical filters for dates, pen names and activity types
- Focus on book and Author-site activity you already generate
See your author activity at a glance
Author-site statistics bring views, visitors, book activity and related reader actions into a compact overview.
Author-site statistics
Follow Author-site activity over time and see which books are attracting reader attention.
- Views and visitors
- Book activity
- Charts and filters
Statistics sit alongside the rest of your Author Studio work.
Because your books, site, reader offers and sales live in the same platform, Author Studio can give you useful context around the activity they generate. That is shared context — not a claim that every click is attributed across every tool.
