Common Question’s

I write in under two or more names how am I to promote both names on one Society Page?

If both your names are in the historical genre we will make two separate pages for both your names and promote your names separately if you choose. A 40% charge for an extra name will apply on which ever Society Package you choose.
Example Name Number#1 = $160.00 for one year
Example Name Number#2 = $ 96.00 for one year

How am I too pay for the extra name when the option is not on the website?

Contact admin and she will customize your bill and email it to you via paypal.

I also write contemporary novels, will you promote those as well?

While the overall idea of The Mystic Castle is to promote Historical Romance, some allowances will be made for Society Authors who have novels in other genres. Your Society page will always be focused on your historical romance/fiction novel. But we will make every effort to promote your non-historical novel via other venues on the website including the upcoming release novel banner, a pop up page linked to your Society Page and of course on The Society Forum and by booking a chat.

If you are a Paranormal Author, we are currently designing our sister website The Mystic Realm. Contact Laurel via the contact page to see if you qualify and how to register.

I am a paranormal author with a contemporary heroine/or hero. The book mainly focuses in historical times via time travel. Does my novel qualify?

In order to qualify for The Society your novel must be 80% set in historical times and remain there in the HEA. But you may be interested in registering for The Mystic Realm a sister site to The Mystic Castle. (coming Dec 07)

I do not have a paypal account how am I too pay you?

There are two options available. You can send an international money order to cover the charge.

Or you can use Paypal. The Mystic Castle has set up Paypal to accept money from anyone regardless of if you have a Paypal account or not. A credit card is all that is needed. It’s a friendly and secure environment with 128 bit encryption.

The Mystic Castle used to charge in US Currency, why did you switch over to Canadian Currency?

The Mystic Castle based out of Ontario, Canada, we switched over to Canadian Currency to be consistent with it's pricing. The US currency was causing drastic fluctuations on a daily basis for prices and it was becoming too confusing for authors and administratoars alike to keep track of.

How do I have my Society Page updated when I have new release coming out?

Just email Laurel the new cover and new blurb and she will update your page for the next update.

Do you offer a monthly payment plan?

Yes we do effective October 06 we enacted a monthly subscription service. At the point of registering you are required to pay 2 months up front ($30.00). The following will be deducted every month from your paypal account. The only restriction on this is you must be a registered member of paypal.

What about a Banner and Affiliation Bundle subscription plan?

We do have this as an option. You must contact Laurel as each circumstance is different. Generally the banner is purchased within the first three months with your affiliation. After that point it reduces down to the monthly subscription price of $15.00 dollars a month.

How long does it take to have my Society Page online once I have paid for the service?

The normal time is 72 hours or when the next update is, which ever comes first. Exceptions that will apply is if all the information we require was not passed over at point of registering.

How do I renew my affiliation with The Mystic Castle?

The administration will 30 days before your service expires contact you via email to discuss with you about renewing and how to renew. Or you can visit the Society Author's only section to renew your affiliation.

Do I have to participate The Society Forum?

In a nutshell no! This feature is an option for you to participate. The Society is not meant to be an heavily interactive site with Reader and Author. To participate on the The Forum we simply require that stop by at least twice a month to answer questions and comments that readers have left for you.

What about theme chats? What are those?

Theme chats such as medieval night are held once a month. It is an open format where author and readers get together and discuss everything medieval in novels. They are relaxed and run an hour in duration. They are a great way to do self-promotion on your novels. You do not need to be at every chat. It is a come if you can format for the authors.

I already bundled up with affiliation and a banner for my current novel. I have another novel coming out later in the year. How do I promote that novel with another banner?

Just go to Castle Services and visit the Society Authors Only section, and order your banner through our website. Society Author's save 10% on advertising banners.
