What is “premium” membership? you only show Gold and Platinum.
Without membership, I have tried advertising but I never see the ads.
I wrote a travel memoir, Your categories show Travel in Fiction, not Nonfiction. (yet you have 8 different Romance types.) Must I advertise in Gen. NF?
(I just signed up for Free Membership)
Hi! Premium membership refers to both Gold and Platinum memberships. Yes, non-fiction should work for your travel memoir. If you need more guidance, please feel free to email us at info@writtenwordmedia.com; we’ll be happy to help you!
1) your membership plans show discounts on ads and promotions but I didn’t see an actual price on an ad or on a promotion, so I can’t tell how much I would actually be paying,
2) you say ‘access’ to ads on Facebook etc. who writes the ad? me or your staff? is there an extra charge to have you write an ad?
I completely understand wanting to see clear pricing before you decide what to book. You can view all current Promo prices here: https://secure.writtenwordmedia.com/features. Each Promo name links to its pricing and details, so you’ll know exactly what you’d pay before your Gold or Platinum discount is applied.
