Hello Everyone!
We’re already halfway through February! This is a good month with lots going on: it’s a fairly romantic month as countless marriage proposals are made at this time, it’s the shortest month of the year and for those of us in the northern hemisphere, it’s the last full month of winter. There’s much to celebrate.
As always, it’s been fairly active here in our publishing company. The logo is almost ready to , the mobile app won’t be too far behind, and Laura and I are inching ever so much closer to our 1 day workshop (http://123yourepublished.eventbrite.ca/# ), and the website will also be coming very soon. There’s a lot to do and somehow 24 hours in a day just isn’t quite enough.
To date, we’ve received 39 story submissions with more on the way. I haven’t yet had a chance to read through them yet, but we have a long weekend coming up so I think I’ll take advantage of that time.
In this issue of the newsletter, we’re fortunate to have Susan Palmquist give us her take on all things Romance. In the last issue I’d mentioned that we were going to be examining different genres of fiction and Susan has generously provided us with our first instalment.
There’s a lot of good in romance novels. I like reading them from time to time if I need to turn my mood around to a happier disposition. Besides which, growing up they were a useful source of information about those "romantic moments" in life.
I went on to the Harlequin Romance website a few weeks ago and was surprised to discover that there were many sub genres inside the romance genre. There must be a great demand and I applaud all the authors that aim to fill it.
If you are an author, what is your favourite genre to write in? Have you tried something different? Is the genre you’re writing in the one you enjoy the most?
If you are an avid reader of all things fiction, what is your favourite genre to read? Why? I’d love to get a discussion going about this so please feel free to send an email or comment on our blog or Facebook page (Pages Of Stories FB page) about what you love to read or write.
We are now accepting story submissions to our new magazine.
Take care and happy reading!
