Following an author on Sọna means you get notified whenever they publish something new. It is the easiest way to make sure you never miss a release from a writer you love.
How to Follow an Author
You can follow an author from their live public profile page.
From an Author's profile:
- Visit the author's page (tap their name on any book listing or search for them)
- Tap or click Follow
- Done. You are now following them
From a book page:
- Open any book you are browsing
- Tap the author's name to visit their profile
- Tap Follow
What Happens When You Follow Someone
When an author you follow publishes a new book, you get a notification in the Sọna app. The notification shows you the book title and takes you directly to the book page where you can read the blurb, preview it, or buy it straight away.
If an author has a book available to pre-order, following them before the release date means you will be notified the moment the book goes live, with no need to keep checking back.
How to Unfollow an Author
Go back to the author's profile and tap Following to unfollow. You will stop receiving new release notifications from them.
Managing Your Follows
To see every author you follow, go to your account page on the web and tap the Following row. A list of all the authors you follow opens, and you can unfollow any of them individually from there.
On iPhone and Android, there is no central follows list. To unfollow an author on mobile, go to their author page and tap Following to unfollow them.
Tips
Follow before the pre-order day. If an author has a book coming out and you want to be the first to know when it drops, follow them now. You will get a push notification on release day.
Follow after finishing a book you loved. If you just finished a book and want more from that author, follow them before you close the app. It takes one tap and means their next book will find you.
Discover new authors at readsona.com/browse. Tap any author name to visit their profile and follow them.
