I'm a Leanpub author. Can readers of my book or course share their email address with me? If they do, where can I find a list of shared email addresses?

Yes! Here is an article about how a reader who has purchased a book, bundle, or course, can share their email address with the author(s):

To see the list of email addresses people have shared with for your book, go to the "Customers" page for your book here:

leanpub.com/YOUR_BOOK/customers_list

...making sure to replace YOUR_BOOK with your book's unique web address.

You can also find the "Customers" page on your book's "Overview" page:

Here is what that page looks like (with actual email addresses blurred, of course!):

Please note that since these people have opted in to share their email address with you, you are permitted to email them, but you are not permitted to spam them, share their address with any other person or sell it somehow, or to be abusive in any way!

If you do contact them, you should be clear about who you are and why you are emailing them.

Typically, readers love to hear from authors!

For more information on our policy around readers opting in to share their email addresses with authors, please see this article:

A Note About Bundles: Regarding bundles, people can opt in their email address on each individual book in a bundle, but they can not opt in on the purchased bundle itself anywhere

OK, that's it!
