[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm sad to see so many people complain about poor writing - that has not been my experience at all, except maybe with the self-published stuff on Kindle Unlimited, and I wonder how much romance these PPs have actually read. The traditionally published authors are professional writers with professional editors. A weird number of them are former lawyers. Try: Grace Burrowes, Courtney Milan, Tessa Dare, Kate Canterbary, Alisha Rai, Helen Hoang, Alyssa Cole, or Sarah MacLean.[/quote] Plenty of professional writers with professional editors have poor writing. Most books are trash. [/quote] NP here. Sarah MacLean is a friend. She is incredibly smart and a graduate of both Harvard and Smith. She can write anything, but through romance she has the ability to write a woman-centric story that is both hopeful and empowering. Lisa Kleypas, graduate of Wellesley, writes beautifully. Eloisa James. Graduate of Yale and Harvard, and a Shakespearean scholar, married to a Dante scholar. And as mentioned upstream, many romance authors were lawyers. Julia Quinn was pre-med at Harvard before writing her first romance. You might not like the genre in general, but don't stereotype based on your preferences in what you read. [/quote]
