About Joan
Joan Didion was an American writer and journalist recognized as one of the pioneers of New Journalism, a movement that includes writers such as Gay Talese, Truman Capote, Norman Mailer, Hunter S. Thompson, and Tom Wolfe. Her writing career began in the 1950s after she won an essay contest sponsored by Vogue magazine; she subsequently published essays in various magazines including The Saturday Evening Post, National Review, Life, Esquire, The New York Review of Books, and The New Yorker. During the 1960s through the late 1970s, her work engaged audiences with explorations of the counterculture of the era, Hollywood, and the history and culture of California. Her second novel, Play It As It Lays, published in 1970, has been deemed a classic of American fiction and was included in Time magazine's list of the 100 best English-language novels from 1923 to 2005. In addition to her literary work, Didion collaborated with her husband John Gregory Dunne on screenplays for films such as The Panic in Needle Park, A Star Is Born, and Up Close & Personal. Her political writing focused on rhetoric and foreign policy, particularly in Latin America, and in 1991 she authored an early mainstream media article on the wrongful conviction of the Central Park Five. Didion was honored with the National Book Award for Nonfiction in 2005 for The Year of Magical Thinking, a memoir about her husband's death; she also received the National Humanities Medal in 2013. Her life and work were profiled in the 2017 Netflix documentary The Center Will Not Hold.

FAQs
Every question we get asked before
someone starts their trial.
If you have a concern about deliverability, AI quality, data privacy, or whether this will actually work for your specific situation, it's probably answered below.
What is the difference between Founder Solo and Founder Pro?
Founder Solo gives you 50 AI pitches per month using the credit model (Standard pitches cost 1 credit, Enriched pitches cost 2). Founder Pro raises that to 200 credits per month and adds full Booking Probability access, unlimited Magic Match, Apollo enrichment credits, and data export capabilities. Both plans use the same credit system, so you can stretch your monthly budget further by using Standard-mode drafting.
How do agency tiers work?
Agency tiers have no base fee. You pay per managed client and per talent profile. Agency Standard is $199 per client per month; Agency Pro is $399 per client per month. Both add $39 per talent profile per month. Your own team's user seats are always free.
What is a talent profile?
A talent profile represents one person (founder, executive, or spokesperson) you are booking onto podcasts. It includes their bio, topics, headshots, and outreach history. Team plans include 5 profiles; agency plans are pay-as-you-go.
Can I switch plans later?
Yes, at any time. Upgrades take effect immediately; downgrades apply at the end of the current billing period. Contact support if you need help migrating between plan families.
Do you offer a free trial?
Every paid plan includes a 15-day free trial. Your card is saved at signup but you will not be charged until day 16. Cancel any time from your dashboard.
What happens if I cancel?
You keep access until the end of your current billing period. No charges after that. Your data is retained for 30 days in case you reactivate.
Is the 20% annual discount automatic?
Yes. Select Annual on the pricing toggle and the discounted price is applied automatically at checkout. The annual price shown is the full year cost.
What if I have more than 50 profiles or 20 clients?
That is our Enterprise tier. Contact our sales team and we will build a custom plan with volume pricing, a dedicated account manager, and SLA guarantees.
