Storiad Introduces the Author Marketing OS

New software category gives authors a unified system to plan, execute and manage book marketing

CHARLESTON, S.C., Sept. 4, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Storiad today introduced the Author Marketing OS, a new category of software designed to give authors a single system for planning, executing and managing the marketing of their books.

Authors have never had more tools available to market their books. They have social media platforms, email services, advertising platforms, AI tools, websites, databases and countless other resources. Yet those tools remain largely disconnected, leaving authors to figure out how to organize the entire job of marketing a book themselves.

Storiad’s premise is simple: authors don’t need more marketing tools. They need a system for using them.

“Authors are expected to market their books like businesses, but they’ve never really had that kind of software businesses use to manage their marketing,” said Ramzi S. Hajj, founder of Storiad. “We’ve had writing software. We’ve had publishing software. We’ve had thousands of individual marketing tools. What we’ve been missing is an operating system for the whole job of marketing a book.”

A New Category for an Old Problem

Marketing a book involves far more than creating a few social media posts or sending emails to a limited list.

Authors need to identify their target readers, establish marketing goals, develop a strategy, create promotional materials, find relevant media and industry contacts, conduct outreach, follow up, maintain visibility and measure what is working.

Those activities have traditionally been handled across multiple tools, documents and services.

Storiad brings them together in a single platform designed specifically around the author’s book marketing workflow.

The company defines an Author Marketing OS as “a unified system that organizes the major functions of book marketing, including strategy, planning, execution and optimization.” Rather than replacing every marketing tool an author may use, the Storiad OS provides the strategic and operational structure that connects those activities.

Storiad is introducing the Author Marketing OS as a new software category built specifically around the job of marketing a book.

From Strategy to Execution

At the center of Storiad’s approach is Book Promotion nMotion™, a proprietary system that helps authors turn a book marketing strategy into an actionable campaign.

Book Promotion nMotion™ organizes promotion around eight core areas:

Promotional Asset CreationMarket ResearchSocial Media ManagementEmailing & Follow-upNetworkingMarketingPublicityBlogging & Newsletter

For each area, authors can develop strategies, planning documents and step-by-step checklists designed to move their campaigns from ideas to action.

“There’s a really big difference between giving an author a marketing plan and giving an author a system they can actually use to run the campaign,” said Hajj. “Our goal is to make book marketing something an author can learn, organize, execute and improve upon over time.”

Built Around the Author’s Book Sales Goal

Storiad begins with a simple question for the author:

How many books do you want to sell?

Its Book Sales Calculator helps authors establish a specific sales target and understand the marketing activities required to pursue it. From there, the platform provides tools and workflows for building and managing a campaign around that book sales goal.

The platform includes CRM-style contact management, a database of more than 52,000 verified book promotion contacts, marketing planning tools such as a Target Reader Profile, email outreach, social media tools, an author website builder, a press room, publicity resources, campaign management and other book marketing capabilities.

Storiad is being used by thousands of authors, giving the company real-time experience developing software around the practical challenges authors face when promoting their books.

AI as Part of the Marketing System

The Author Marketing OS also incorporates StoriA, Storiad’s AI Author Assistant.

StoriA is designed to help authors work through the marketing process, from developing strategies and plans to creating marketing materials and determining what to do next.

“AI is very good at creating things,” said Hajj. “But creating another piece of content isn’t necessarily the answer to an author’s marketing problem. The bigger questions center around who should I reach, what should I say, what should I do next, and how does this fit into my overall campaign? That’s where we think AI can become much more useful to authors.”

Building the Author Marketing OS

The need for an Author Marketing OS comes from a simple reality of today’s publishing environment: authors are increasingly responsible for marketing their own books.

At the same time, the number of tools available to them continues to grow.

Storiad believes the answer is not another standalone marketing tool.

It is a system.

“The ultimate goal is pretty simple,” said Hajj. “We want to help authors take control of their book marketing and sell more books.”

Storiad is making its Author Marketing OS available to authors through its software platform.

BERLIN, Sept. 5, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Morpho, a company specializing in UV printing technology, is showcasing its first desktop UV printer at IFA 2026, Hall 17-196. Visitors are observing Morpho’s colorful, textured prints, and some have the opportunity to print on a range of blank materials provided.

Morpho’s desktop UV printer can print on a wide range of materials, including wood, glass, leather, metal, and more, delivering vivid colors and tactile textures for customized results. At IFA 2026, the booth attracted interest from creators, educators, and technology professionals, who gathered to watch live demonstrations.

Among those who have tried Morpho’s printer, three aspects are most frequently highlighted: print quality, the moving gantry design, and overall ease of use.

Visitors are first drawn to the prints, which feature precise color reproduction and finely detailed textile textures. With G7 Master ColorSpace certification, Morpho ensures consistent tones across different pieces. The same level of precision is evident in the raised textures created by the industrial-grade printhead, which builds fine layers of ink for detailed, tactile surfaces. The printhead maintains fast carriage motion speeds of up to 600mm/s while preserving precise detail.

Attendees have also noted the printer’s compact desktop footprint. With its moving gantry architecture—where the entire gantry moves along both axes—the printer offers a large, fully enclosed print chamber that accommodates various objects while remaining desktop-friendly.

First-time users have given positive feedback on Morpho’s usability. The integrated Stereo Vision Smart Alignment™ System quickly captures an object’s height and contours, while Morpho Studio’s guided workflows help users move from idea to print with minimal setup.

Morpho’s team shared that the program has been in development for several years, with the goal of making UV printers a practical tool for everyday creative use. Founder Mingyu “Brett” Wang, formerly Global VP of R&D at DJI, commented, “We communicate directly with our community, listen to feedback, and make fast improvements.”

Ahead of IFA, Morpho’s Kickstarter campaign surpassed $10 million in support from over 2,800 backers worldwide. The company is committed to further developing its proprietary core technology and delivering reliable engineering for creators, makers, and small businesses.

Drive Medical claimed the top prize at the third annual SRS Shark Tank 2026, held during the Society of Robotic Surgery’s annual conference at the Diplomat Beach Resort in Hollywood, Florida. The event, a collaboration between SRS and Puma Venture Capital, once again showcased cutting-edge innovations in the digital and robotic surgery ecosystem and featured early-stage companies poised to transform minimally invasive care.

HOLLYWOOD, Fla., Sept. 5, 2026 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ — Drive Medical claimed the top prize at the third annual SRS Shark Tank 2026, held during the Society of Robotic Surgery’s annual conference at the Diplomat Beach Resort in Hollywood, Florida. The event, a collaboration between SRS and Puma Venture Capital, once again showcased cutting-edge innovations in the digital and robotic surgery ecosystem and featured early-stage companies poised to transform minimally invasive care.

SRS Shark Tank 2026 featured presentations from nine innovative companies. Each had five minutes to pitch their technology and five minutes to engage in a Q&A session with a panel of esteemed judges, including top surgeons, investors, and medical device experts. Companies were evaluated on innovation, impact on healthcare, market potential, business model, and presentation.

Drive Medical earned the top honor for the Pollywog System, the first easy-to-use robotic endoscope integrated with artificial intelligence. The platform is designed to give physicians faster, safer access to the small bowel, allowing diagnosis and treatment to be completed in a single session rather than across multiple procedures.

DeepQure secured second place with HyperQure, the world’s first extravascular renal denervation system for resistant hypertension. Delivered laparoscopically, the device wraps the renal artery from the outside to achieve complete denervation while avoiding the vessel lining.

Microsure came in third with MUSA-3, a microsurgical robot that downscales and stabilizes a surgeon’s hand movements during open super-microsurgical procedures, including free flap, lymphatic, and peripheral nerve surgery. The system received CE mark approval earlier this year.

The strength of the 2026 field extended well beyond the podium: every one of the nine presenting companies was placed in the top three by at least one judge. Reveal Surgical presented optical imaging technology that characterizes tissue for tumor assessment during surgery, and Symphera demonstrated a laparoscopic system that lets surgeons switch instrument tips at the push of a button. Tioga Cardiovascular showed its transcatheter approach to mitral and tricuspid valve replacement.

CardioSentry presented an AI platform for autonomous cardiac ultrasound, and Nina Medical showcased a completely non-invasive treatment for benign prostatic hyperplasia.
