ESPAN Mission Statement:

The Electronic and Small Press Authors Network (ESPAN) exists to enhance the careers of those members of RWA who are contracted with or have released books through electronic and small press publishers.

ESPAN will constantly strive to advocate for the good of the industry and the successful careers of its romance authors.

In addition ESPAN will be an educational conduit to those who are interested in learning more about the industry and the part it plays in developing career romance authors.

To accomplish this mission, ESPAN will educate all of its members (published and otherwise) on industry, marketing and craft issues, educate other members of RWA on the benefits of non-traditional publishing, and educate the public on the joys of reading electronic or small press romance.
