New Insider Version of Romance Bookstore Directory

Learn about the new benefit for my annual paid subscribers.

Happy New Year, friends! 🎉

I’m excited to announce a new benefit for my annual paid subscribers: access to an “Insider” version of my Romance Bookstore Directory.

The Insider version has additional bookstore information not available in the public directory on my website, including (if available):

• Email address

• Phone number

• Instagram account

• TikTok account

• Author Interest Form

• Date added

• Year opened

Plus you get access to the data in a Google Sheet, allowing you to sort and filter the list however you’d like (after you’ve made a copy for yourself). You’ll have access to the most up-to-date version of the directory as long as your annual paid subscription is active.

Who’s It For?

Some romance authors have used my directory to reach out to romance bookstores about stocking their books—this Insider version of the directory should make that process much easier for you.

In addition to authors, the insider directory would also be useful for anyone who is looking to connect with romance bookstores, particularly on social media (see screenshot below—all the Instagram and TikTok links are organized for you!). This includes:

• romance bookstore owners and employees

• publishing industry insiders

• author services providers

• romance book content creators

• romance readers.

How to Access

To get access, you’ll need to become an annual paid subscriber to Romancing the Data for US$50/year. This also gives you access to all the other paid subscriber benefits like my monthly best seller analyses and bookstore updates (learn more).

Once you’ve upgraded, reply to this message or email me directly with the email address you’d like to access the Google Sheet with (NOTE: it needs to be either a Gmail email or non-Gmail email you’ve used to create a Google Account).

Granting access is not automated, so please wait until you get a Google notification from Lady Jane letting you know the “Insider Romance Bookstore Directory” spreadsheet has been shared with you.

Example of Google notification

Please let me know if you have any questions. Happy reading!
