Hi all Having just skimmed the said article. I have a comment to share. Don't the editors decide what people read. If the trends are too old shouldn't the...

Elizabeth Absolutely! but the question for us as writers is. "Is there any way we can change editorial mindsets in this regard". My feeling is that the genre...
Denis, Rambling isn't bad. Anyway, I like the Harry Potter series too. My daughter got me to read the first book and I like the way each succeeding book...
