About Marcus
Marcus Kliewer is a Canadian author of horror fiction who received the Kobo Emerging Writer Prize in 2026 for his debut novel We Used to Live Here. Originally from Kelowna, British Columbia, with family roots in Steinbach, Manitoba, he moved to Vancouver after high school. His early career included work in the film industry in crew roles and as a stop-motion animator. Notably, he served as an editor on Amanda Strong's 2018 short film Biidaaban (The Dawn Comes) and directed the 2020 animated short film Lot. Following the COVID-19 pandemic's impact on film production and the receipt of the Canada Emergency Response Benefit, Kliewer began writing short horror fiction for the Reddit community r/nosleep. His original Reddit story We Used to Live Here gained popularity, attracting interest from Netflix in 2021 and winning the r/nosleep Scariest Story of the Year award. This success led to a three-book publishing deal and a film development deal for his short story The Caretaker. His debut novel We Used to Live Here was published in June 2024, followed by The Caretaker in April 2026. An audiobook titled Remain Seated, featuring three of his short stories, is scheduled for release in September 2026.

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.
