Topics Discussed 

*Challenges for new authors
*Benefits of the romance genre

 

What challenges does a new author face to reach her goal of getting her first novel published?

I think the biggest challenge all new authors face in getting their novel published and reaching her/his goal is a connection with an editor. There are so many talented writers, a lot of them with contest wins, agents working hard to promote them and still it all comes down to the person with the power to turn your dreams into reality. The editor. No one knows why a hundred editors will reject your work and then one will like it enough to buy it. So yes, I definitely believe the right editor remains the biggest challenge to a writer.

What three things do you believe the romance genre offers that no other fiction genre offers?

The first thing I would have to say is the romance genre offers support. In spite of the high level of competition, you always have the power of over eight thousand women rooting for your success. The links, conferences and workshop are all part of helping a writer learn the trade. And as you learn the trade, there's always a helping hand telling you where to send your work.

Second would be the loyal fan base and third I would have to repeat myself and say a happy ending. You can be assured when picking up a romance that in spite of the problems encountered, love will win out.
