Why authors choose Fyrebox
Grow an email list you actually own
A quiz on your author website or in your link-in-bio captures reader names and emails — a subscriber list no algorithm change or platform shutdown can take from you.
Recommend the right book to every reader
Map quiz answers to your backlist so each visitor lands on the perfect starting point, with a direct link to buy on Amazon, Bookshop.org, or your own store.
Segment readers for smarter newsletters
Tag subscribers by genre preference, reading speed, or series interest so your next launch email speaks directly to what each reader loves instead of blasting a generic announcement.
Capture reader emails inside the quiz
Collect name, email, and reading preferences before showing results. Every submission syncs to Mailchimp, ConvertKit, MailerLite, BookFunnel, or your preferred email tool through native integrations, webhooks, and Zapier.
On-brand design that matches your book covers
Upload your author photo, book cover images, and brand colors. The quiz embeds on any website — WordPress, Wix, Squarespace, or a BookLinker page — with a single line of code and looks polished on phones.
Personalized results that sell books
Show each reader a tailored result page: a book recommendation with a buy link, a character-match badge they will screenshot and share, or a reading list with affiliate links — each driving traffic straight to your book listings.
Build your author quiz in 3 steps
Pick a template
Start from a ready-made template like Which Book Should You Read Next, What's Your Reader Personality, or Which Character Are You, then customize the questions for your world.
Add your branding and email capture
Drop in your book covers, author photo, and brand colors. Choose which reader fields to collect and connect your email service so new subscribers land in the right list.
Share everywhere
Embed the quiz on your author website, drop the link in your Instagram bio, share it in reader Facebook groups, or include it in your newsletter to start growing your list.
Quiz ideas that work for authors
Which of my books should you read first?
A 5-question quiz that asks about mood, trope preferences, and reading pace to recommend the perfect entry point into your backlist — with a direct buy link on the result page.
Which character are you?
