A social media scheduler for authors who’d rather be writing
SkedCast is a social media scheduler for authors and publishers: import a whole book launch of cover reveals, excerpts and event posts in one upload, recycle your best quotes and reviews between releases, and post to every network your readers use, 11 in all, from one composer. Plan the launch once, then get back to writing.
Why do authors & publishers choose SkedCast?
A whole launch in one upload
Bulk-import up to 2,500 posts per upload on Agency: cover reveals, excerpts, countdown posts and event dates, checked against every network’s limits before anything is scheduled.
Backlist posts that keep working
Recycle your best quotes, reviews and backlist mentions from the Solo plan: each post repeats on its own interval, until an end date or a set number of repeats.
One post, every reader network
Write a post once for Instagram, Facebook, Threads, TikTok and the rest, with its own version for each network’s length and format.
Plan around publication day
See the whole launch window on one calendar, so teasers, the cover reveal and release-day posts land on the right days without a spreadsheet beside you.
How does SkedCast help an author with social media?
Plan a book launch in advance
Drop a folder of cover art, excerpts and event graphics, or a spreadsheet of posts, map them to dates around your release, and schedule the whole campaign at once.
Keep older titles in front of readers
Put backlist quotes and reviews on a recycle cycle so new followers see them. Write two or three versions of a favourite quote and recycle each one, so the feed never shows the same post twice in a row.
Write once, reach every reader
A single announcement becomes a post sized for every network your readers use, and AI can reshape the caption for each one if you want a lighter touch.
Work with a publisher or publicist
Send posts for approval when a publisher or publicist needs to sign off: an approval step on every plan, approval chains from Studio, and sign-off from a link without an account from Studio.
What does a typical week look like for an author or publisher?
- Turn launch-week material (cover reveal, first-chapter quote, pre-order link) into a bulk import mapped to countdown dates.
- Post the newsletter or blog automatically from its RSS feed, so every new piece reaches your social accounts without retyping it.
- Keep a library of evergreen quotes and reviews recycling between launches, with a few versions of each so repeats read fresh.
- Put the pre-order or buy link in your link-in-bio page, and update it once when the book goes on sale.
- Check which quotes and covers earned the most engagement and reuse those in the next launch.

Frequently asked questions
- Can I schedule a whole book launch in advance?
- Yes. Bulk-import up to 2,500 posts per upload on Agency (teasers, cover reveals, excerpts and event announcements) and schedule the entire launch window in one sitting instead of posting each item by hand.
- Can posts about my backlist repeat automatically?
- Yes, from the Solo plan. Set a post to recycle on an interval you choose, with an end date or a cap on repeats; write a few versions of a quote if you want each repeat to read differently.
- Does a publisher or publicist need to approve my posts?
- Only if you want them to. Every plan has an approval step; approval chains start on Studio, and from Studio a publicist can approve from a link without an account.
- Which networks can I post to as an author?
- All 11: Instagram, Facebook, Threads, TikTok, X (Twitter), YouTube, Pinterest, LinkedIn, Bluesky, Telegram and Google Business Profile, from one composer.
- Is there a free plan for authors?
- SkedCast has a permanent Free plan — 2 connected accounts, 3 posts a day, no credit card and no expiry. Move to a paid plan when you want recycling or more accounts.
