Romance-Writers-Promotion-Network-subscribe@yahoogroups.com
This group was began as a network of published romance and romantica authors who work together to promote and market eachother's work. Live in Ohio but want to sell books in Iowa? Send your bookmarks, postcards, and covers to another author in Iowa. She'll place your materials in Iowa and you can place hers in Ohio.

This group was started and designed for the purpose of providing a network of fellow authors who can help us market and promote our books across geographic distance. Do not join if you are not willing and able to help.

The list is open to authors of all genres of romance and romantica. Authors of both traditionally published books and e-books are welcome.

When you join you will be asked to provide information about yourself and your books which will be used to compile a database which will be of use to all of us in promoting our books.

This list is owned and managed by Black Velvet Seductions (http://www.blackvelvetseductions.com) as Black Velvet Seductions has several free promotional opportunities available for authors of romance.

We are also developing several paid opportunities and several co-op opportunities for authors who want to reach readers both on and off the internet. We anticipate these opportunities being moderately priced and very targeted.

This is an announcement list where opportunities will be announced as they become available.

All posts will come via a post by the moderator of this list (no spam and no opportunities that don't make sound business sense will be presented).
