Romancing the Pubs mission statement is simple; give the best and most cost effective path to help market fiction-author books.

It's not what I do, but the way I do it. It's not what I say, but the way I say it.   MAE WEST

Mae West was the vixen of movies back in the 40's. She is now an icon, of course. Wouldn't we all love to leave that kind of legacy.

Which brings me to the purpose of RtP. Romancing the Pubs was created with the self-published, or the independently published author as its target market. Your book is part of your legacy.

Yes, my dear author-friend I mean you!

You, as an author have completed your job. You struggled through crits and edits only to turn around and suffer through them again and possibly again. I know, I have been there. And that was before you submitted your manuscript to a publisher. After that...well, need I go there? The point is, now you are published. Your masterpiece is complete. Your work is done!

Or is it?

Not by a long shot, kiddo! Now you have to market your book. That means now you need to have a plan...a business plan, for lack of a better analogy, to sell your book. The internet is vast and competitive. Who exactly is your target market? Is it romance readers? Great. What is their age? Where do they live? Where will they find your book?

Yes, a million questions to be answered...or so it seems. Mind boggling, eh? Yes. It can be. But like with your manuscript, you dig in your stilettos (or loafers) and forge ahead to get your book sold. Perseverance is the key to successful marketing just as RtP is a successful tool you may apply to help you market your book and promo yourself as an author. Use Romancing the Pubs as a springboard to internet sales. It is a good thing.

Now, here is what I want you to do. Go through this site. As I am writing this, I am also creating contacts and ideas to share with you. I absolutely love to promo books and authors. Lucky you. I am very creative and out-going and not afraid to use present technology to achieve my goals.You don't have to do all the work, I do it for you. But I digress...

Go to the promo page and read. Yes, it is a good deal. I promise. And it is basic for book selling.
