Why advertise with the Essence of Romance?

The Essence of Romance supplies a huge and varied audience of Romance book lovers. We cater to bookstores, libraries and readers all over the world. Bookstores and libraries have found the Essence of Romance to be an invaluable resource for helping to answer customer questions and to help customers find new authors and genres to read, which, in turn, helps to drive sales for them and also for authors and publishers.

Although we originally started with the intention of helping bookstores and libraries, the Essence of Romance has grown in popularity over the past 20 years with individual readers and our members include just as many readers as bookstores.

We have over 75,000 hits on our site every month and over 10,000 logins per month from regular users. Your banner and name have the potential to be seen thousands of times every month by visitors all over the world.

FREE PROMOTION
We will link your site for free on our external Links pages and we request you link us in exchange. Links to the external Links pages appear on the left Navigation panel on all pages except Search Results pages. Click the "Sign Me Up" link at the bottom of the page to request a free text link.

Note to Authors: ROMANCE Authors are linked at least twice, internally on the individual Author Results page and externally on the Authors links pages. If you write several genres, your name will be linked externally under each genre (i.e. If you write Adventure and General Fiction, you will be linked on each of those pages).

PAID ADVERTISING
We offer the following paid advertising packages to Authors, Publishers, Review sites and any industry-related site who would like to join our high traffic network. Banner ads will appear on the Home page, External Links pages and internally on various Results pages, while book trailers will be shown on the Home page. We encourage you to choose a package that will place your banners on the internal site as many of our users keep their login bookmarked so rarely see the Home page.

As an added bonus, you will receive free access to the full database during your paid advertising time (include a username and password of your choice when contacting us).

The Essence of Romance is not an age-restricted site, so all banners and book trailers must be approved by us (no Erotica will be displayed). Send us the banner and book trailer of your choice and they will be live within 48 hours of approval. All banners and book trailers are displayed in rotation with other industry banners and trailers.

All packages below are for 30 days.
