Cross-promotion: group promos & newsletter swaps

Promos covers two different ways of teaming up with other BulletPoint authors — both entirely opt-in. Group promos: open one with a title and a date range, then other authors join it with one of their own books. As the organiser you accept or decline who joins; once accepted, anyone in the promo (including you) can send the full lineup to their own subscriber list with one click — so everyone's book reaches everyone else's readers, not just your own. Newsletter swaps are simpler and one-to-one: propose swapping features with another specific author (you'll feature their book in your next email, they'll feature yours), they accept or decline, and you agree the actual details — timing, exact wording — over in Community. Neither of these costs anything or is arranged by BulletPoint — they're entirely between authors, and Community is where you'll typically find people to team up with.
