There are a number of promotional author websites out
there. So why have we started a new one, and why do we think
we're better?
- We charge less. Because of our superior technical capabilities,
we can automate more heavily than other sites, bringing down the cost to you.
- We offer more than any other promotional website. Check
out what our package includes, and see what our site offers.
- Our site is focused only on promoting your books. This
is not a tie-in for the web development side of our business--this is an entire
site with the single aim of selling your books by increasing publicity and creating
reader excitement.
- We give our authors full control of their sites. If
we host your site, it will still remains yours, and you will always have
free and easy access to change anything you want.
- We have a listserver for our clients so that there is fast
and open communication between and among us and our authors.
- We don't care if you sell 5,000 books or 5,000,000. We treat
all authors with equal respect.
- This is run for authors by authors, so we know your mentality and
what you want.

- You (the author) sign a contract agreeing to one year of promotion
on our site, AccessRomance.com. After that year, you may quit at
any time or be contracted and billed on a month-to-month basis. If the site is
ever terminated for any reason, you will be released from your contract.
- Promotion is open to authors eligible for PAN who have books in
print. * If you write
something other than romance, those books will be promoted, too, as long as you
are still also a romance writer.
* Disclaimer: To obtain the goals
listed in our mission
statement, AccessRomance reserves the right to deny service to any potential
client(s) we feel may not conform to our current image needs. This includes maintaining
a balanced list of subgenres and publishing houses associated with our clients.
