On sale now: WE’LL NEVER TELL, published by St. Martin’s Press

Thanks for these ‘behind the scenes interviews’. It’s a side we don’t see much of in romance communities and they’re quite interesting.

Then a comment: That Enderlin works with Crusie tells me she’s serious about thinking beyond the “rules of Romance,” and now I’m even more excited that Kleypas has signed on with her, as well.

And one more question: If she’s not thinking in terms of trends, what does Ms. Enderlin think of what we readers may perceive as a glut in certain areas (i.e. paranormal Romance). Are her strategies different from those of other editors and is she more focused on the manuscript she buys (its value as a good read) than on how readers might take to it? In other words, does she have to love the books she acquires, and is it her own interest that motivates the acquisition, rather than a sense of marketability? [okay, so maybe that was more than one question] As a reader, I think I’d rather an editor acquired a manuscript she loves, rather than one she simply thinks will sell.
