The 1Night Stand line covers so many settings, cultures, and sub-genres of romance.<br /><br />Rebecca - I'm am thankful everyday for that nudge you gave me. :)<br /><br />Dominique - Thank you! I still have an idea. I just need to write faster. LOL<br /><br />Liza - It's not for everyone. But for authors struggling to find a publisher, writing for a line helps one to learn more about what the publisher is looking for, how the house edits, and to make connections. :)Jessica E.

I tend to actively break rules. But I am very happy reading both Jessica's and Rebecca's work, so I'm glad the lines exist.

Writing for an established line/series couldn't have been a better springboard for my writing, and I encourage every author to try that route at least once. :)Zee Monodeehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03709226882459365836noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2015064410387223894.post-2654879831429072712013-05-28T00:16:46.140-04:002013-05-28T00:16:46.140-04:00Plus...writing 1Night Stand stories can be very ad...Plus...writing 1Night Stand stories can be very addicting!Taryn Kincaidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11130206764352777367noreply@blogger.com
