You all are awesome. I hope to see my dream submission come in! I've been waiting for it for years and years.<br /><br />Samhain isn't only interested in the hot stuff. I've contracted quite a few books that have no sex or only closed-door sex. And the covers for those titles fit the stories. In fact, I better get back to editing a book that doesn't have a wink of sex in it. <br /><br />Thanks to SFR Brigade for having me.Sasha Knighthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03095359199751098074noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2835785233541439590.post-40571613560884703822010-05-17T15:05:18.073-07:002010-05-17T15:05:18.073-07:00Sasha's great.

Thanks for the insights, and for mentioning the space opera novellas released a few months ago. Must add to my reading list.Arlenehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13009609859622288428noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2835785233541439590.post-83452839388879369922010-05-17T13:08:03.551-07:002010-05-17T13:08:03.551-07:00Sasha, you say all the nicest things.

Don’t try to write hotter just because you think that’s what publishers are looking for."<br /><br />That's what I always say, but I can see how an aspiring author would fall into this. Take a look around the Samhain website. Judging by the book covers, Samhain only publishes really hot and erotic novels. So, if an author wants to break in, she believes writing hot is the only way to go. How good the story is irrelevent if the sex isn't sizzling against every bulkhead. <br /><br />I don't know how to correct that assumption, however.<br /><br />But, the same thing goes for other aspects of SFR. If you don't have a weapon-wielding heroine and a brown-haired hero with ripped abs, might as well forget it.<br /><br />Sometimes, I wonder if this is all the authors are writing or all the editors are accepting. Or, is it all an assumption based on cover art for a select few novels?Kimber Lihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03982239712083114488noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2835785233541439590.post-81721712359903370312010-05-17T11:38:55.732-07:002010-05-17T11:38:55.732-07:00I couldn't agree more with Karin and Sheryl.
