What it is
HeyNews is an AI newsletter writer for WordPress publishers turning their blog into a newsletter. It imports your public WordPress archive, trains a Voice Profile from the posts you have already published, watches the sources you trust (RSS feeds, sites, X, Reddit, saved articles), and drafts your next newsletter in your voice for you to review and send from beehiiv, Kit, Substack, Ghost, Mailchimp, or your WordPress newsletter plugin. Plans start at $39/mo with a 14-day free trial.
HeyNews does not replace WordPress. WordPress stays where your blog, your CMS, and your audience archive live. HeyNews is the production layer that uses your WordPress archive as voice memory for the newsletter you send, whether that is on beehiiv, Kit, Substack, Ghost, Mailchimp, or a WordPress newsletter plugin.
How HeyNews works with WordPress
- Point HeyNews at your WordPress site
- No login to WordPress, no plugin to install, no setup. HeyNews fetches the public posts at your WordPress URL via the standard RSS feed and uses them as the starting point for your Voice Profile.
- Build your Voice Profile from real posts
- HeyNews studies the tone, structure, recurring sections, and signature phrases in your WordPress archive. Real published posts beat any prompt-engineered "style guide".
- Translate blog voice into newsletter voice
- A 1,500-word WordPress blog post and a 600-word newsletter issue read differently. HeyNews lets you describe your newsletter cadence and length so the Voice Profile produces newsletter drafts, not condensed blog posts.
- Add the sources behind your next issue
- RSS feeds, websites, X profiles, Reddit threads, and saved articles. HeyNews scans them and surfaces a ranked shortlist of stories that match what your readers actually engage with.
- Review the draft, then send from your newsletter platform
- HeyNews drafts the issue with subject line and preview text options. Edit until it sounds right, copy the finished version into beehiiv, Kit, Substack, Ghost, Mailchimp, or your WordPress newsletter plugin, and send it on your schedule.
What to expect today
HeyNews creates the draft. It does not push to a WordPress newsletter plugin or send from your WordPress site on your behalf. Today you review inside HeyNews, then copy the finished version into the platform you use to send. Voice training works on the public portions of your WordPress site; private or password-protected posts give HeyNews less to learn from.
Why it feels different for WordPress operators
- Voice memory from the blog readers already know
- WordPress is a publishing platform, not a newsletter platform. It does not give you an AI drafting workflow tuned to your voice. HeyNews learns from the posts you have already published, so the first newsletter draft starts in the voice your readers actually subscribed for.
- Blog voice translated to newsletter voice
- WordPress posts are usually longer and more SEO-shaped than a recurring newsletter. HeyNews lets you describe your newsletter cadence and length, so the draft is shaped for email, not pasted from a 2,000-word blog post.
- A shortlist of stories before you start writing
- WordPress is where you write blog posts. HeyNews helps before that by scanning the sources you actually trust and surfacing a ranked shortlist of stories worth covering for your newsletter audience.
- Built for the WordPress-to-newsletter migration
- If you are moving audience ownership from a WordPress blog into a newsletter, HeyNews is the production layer that bridges the two: your WordPress archive becomes the voice training, your newsletter platform becomes the send.
- Subject lines and preview text included
- Each draft includes subject line and preview text options, so the issue is closer to ready by the time you open beehiiv, Kit, Substack, Ghost, Mailchimp, or your WordPress newsletter plugin.

Use cases
The WordPress blogger launching a newsletter on beehiiv or Kit
You spent five years building a WordPress blog with 200 posts and an audience that visits via search. Now you want to own them via email. HeyNews uses your WordPress archive as voice training for the newsletter you launch on beehiiv or Kit, so the first issue sounds like the writer your audience already follows.
The WordPress publisher running a side newsletter
You still publish on WordPress, but you also run a recurring newsletter on Substack or Ghost. HeyNews uses your WordPress archive as voice memory and drafts newsletter-shaped issues from your sources, so the side newsletter does not become the thing that slips when the next blog post is due.
The independent publisher with a paid WordPress site
You run a paid WordPress publication with 5,000 paying readers. The blog is one surface; the newsletter is the other. HeyNews trains on the blog archive and drafts newsletter issues that read as a continuation of your blog voice, not a copy of one of your posts.
The WordPress-plus-newsletter-plugin operator
You send your newsletter from WordPress directly via Newsletter Glue, MailPoet, or a similar plugin. HeyNews drafts each issue in your voice; you copy the finished version into the plugin's editor and send from your WordPress site. See the FAQ for plugin-specific notes.
FAQ
Does HeyNews replace WordPress?
No. WordPress stays where your blog, your CMS, and your post archive live. HeyNews is the production layer that uses your WordPress archive as voice memory and drafts the newsletter you send from beehiiv, Kit, Substack, Ghost, Mailchimp, or a WordPress newsletter plugin.
How does HeyNews import my WordPress archive?
Point HeyNews at your WordPress site URL. It uses the standard WordPress RSS feed to fetch your public posts and trains a Voice Profile from them. No login, no plugin, no browser extension to install.
Can I use HeyNews if I send my newsletter via a WordPress plugin like Newsletter Glue or MailPoet?
Yes. HeyNews drafts each issue in your voice. You copy the finished version into the plugin editor and send from your WordPress site. The workflow is the same as copying into beehiiv or Kit. HeyNews does not push directly into the plugin today, but the production layer fits cleanly in front of it.
Can HeyNews publish back to WordPress?
Not today. HeyNews drafts newsletters meant to be sent from a newsletter platform or a WordPress newsletter plugin. If you also want to cross-post the issue as a blog post on WordPress, you can copy the finished draft into the WordPress editor yourself.
What if my WordPress posts are essays, not newsletter issues?
WordPress posts are usually longer and more SEO-shaped than a recurring newsletter. HeyNews lets you describe your newsletter cadence and length during onboarding, so the Voice Profile produces newsletter drafts that read for email, not condensed blog posts.
Can I use HeyNews if I am moving from WordPress to beehiiv or Kit?
Yes, that is one of the most common starting points. Train HeyNews on your WordPress archive today so your new beehiiv or Kit broadcasts sound like the writer your audience already follows. Once your new archive grows, HeyNews layers it in too.
Will WordPress reader and engagement data show up in HeyNews?
Not directly today. WordPress analytics live inside WordPress (or your analytics tool of choice). HeyNews still learns from your public posts, but it cannot read engagement signals the way it can pull beehiiv or Kit subscriber data.
What is the free trial?
14 days or 5 generated issues, whichever ends first. A payment method is required so accounts cannot be recycled. Cancel any time during the trial and you are not charged.
