Well, this is a site that takes a lot of time - and waylays you on your journey! For instance, they have various links to prize drawings on authors pages, and you find yourself just having to mosey on over to enter those! You might win a signed copy, or even an advance copy, of their finest creations. Or gift tokens ... audio books even.
There are chat rooms (I specifically found ParaNormal and Romance, while I was surfing through) and FREE workshops, plus a free newsletter that you can sign up to that has all the schedules of what's up and coming. And they have author events online, too, so's you can chat with some of those who have made a living from their writing.
There does seem to be a preponderance of emphasis on the romantic from what I saw - Silhouette Intimate Moments authors, Romance chat, Paranormal Romance, Erotic Fiction, Leisure and Lovespell - so this is probably a better site for those whose aspirations are in that particular area of writing than any other. Having said that, I also noticed that one of the themes in the workshop area was on characterization - obviously a topic of use to all of us.
So, I guess my overall opinion on this site is that it is an ok site for most of us, but that those who write Romance in all it's forms, will find this a treasure chest.
