Why do I have to pay for this service?

Firstly, because it is a service. And we think you’ll find it a great service! As a book seller for many years, we at BCS have acquired valuable relationships with book distributors and have amassed a rolodex of book signing venues across the nation. While you might spend hours of your time scouring the Internet looking for information on your favorite authors, you’ll find that the information here is complete, current, all in one spot, and at your fingertips; and more than that, we will often have information you won’t find elsewhere on the web. With your Total Access membership, you’re assured of the most accurate and up-to-date information, so you can plan your events well in advance and get a jump on securing tickets for events that sell out fast (some events sell out within hours).

 

How much will it cost?
Total Access will be offered with 2 options:
Option 1: $3.95 monthly.
Option 2: $29.95 yearly. That’s less than 9 cents a day!
This is the “charter member” price and you will be grandfathered in. If the price ever increases, you are guaranteed never to pay a single dime more!

What payment methods are available?
You can use our handy online shopping cart. We accept Visa, MasterCard and Amex, as well as PayPal, so you don’t have to input your credit card information at all, if that is your preference.

 

Can I be automatically billed?
Yes! For your convenience, your monthly payments or annual subscription will be ARB (auto-recurring billing). This means one less thing you have to think about, because we know you’re busy.

 

If I don’t like the service, can I opt out?
We know you’ll love your membership, but if at any time you decide you don’t wish to continue using the service, you can unsubscribe and cancel your recurring monthly or yearly payments. We also offer a money back guarantee to all new members: if within the first 30 days of your paid subscription, you decide the service is not for you, you can cancel your membership for a full refund.

 

What do you do with my information?
We take your privacy very seriously. We will NEVER sell, rent, give away, or otherwise disseminate your personal information. The information you provide is used solely for the purpose of maintaining your account with us.

 

I don’t live in New York or LA. Is this service still worthwhile for me?
Absolutely! While many signings do occur in New York And Los Angeles, many others occur all over the United States, including the Northeast, Southeast, Pacific Northwest, Southwest, Central Plains, Midwest, and Southern states. What’s more, you’ll find the information valuable even if you find a signing you’re interested in that’s not within driving distance to you, because you’ll have the information you need to contact the hosting venue to arrange for a reserved signed copy to be mailed to you.

 

Are there any bonuses for signing up?
As a Total Access member, you’ll receive the bonus BCS INSIDER REPORT which gives you expert advice on how to optimize your book signing experience, with tips on everything from what to look for when making your book purchase to ensure you are getting a pristine copy, to getting the most out of your time with the author. You’ll also be eligible for our monthly member-only contests, giving you the exclusive opportunity of winning books signed by your favorite authors and celebrities. You’ll also take advantage of the weekly email newsletters spotlighting the featured book signings of the month, delivered straight to your inbox.

 

Is the site easy to navigate?
With advanced search functions, you’ll be able to search out signing events by author, city, state or category (literature, music, film, etc). You’ll find information on everything from major authors’ to musicians to film and TV actors’ book signing tours, and more. If you’re relatively new to using an online database, fear not; you’ll be greeted with a step-by-step tutorial on the search page that you can choose to use if you need, and then you’ll be on your way in moments. The site is user-friendly and very easy to navigate.

 

How accurate is the information?
All the information is complete, up-to-date and double-checked for accuracy. We know that occasionally authors will cancel or postpone a signing at the last minute, so always remember to check with the venue the week of the scheduled event, just in case. These occurrences are rare, but you’ll be provided with all the information you need to follow up on last minute changes, with the hosting venue’s address, phone number and website link.
