Friday Q & A….
I was asked if it was easier to find publishers for LGBTQ stories than for het stories…..and I think the answer (for the moment) is yes. There are a lot more epublishers out there who have discovered the m/m phenomena and are accepting gay stories.
I think het stories now have to be very well-written because there is still a huge market out there, and publishers are becoming far more selective of which stories they chose to release to the public. I’m lucky that Totally Bound does both het and m/m. I can branch back out a little because as much as I love m/m stories and gay romances, I have to admit I get a little bored writing them all the time. Being able to write other types of stories helps keep me interested in all of the genres I write in. 🙂
But there are a lot of fly-by-night publishers out there, so when/if you ever chose to write, please do your research and make sure they’re a reputable company. Sure, there is going to be at least one person who is unhappy with a publisher. You’re not going to find one pub out there that someone hasn’t had a bad experience with. But there will be a history of bad stuff going on with disreputable publishers. You just have to do your due diligence and make sure you’re comfortable working with whichever pub you chose.
I hope that answered your question. 🙂 Also, if anyone has questions, please don’t hesitate to ask. I’ll do my best to answer them. 🙂
Have a great Friday and a wonderful weekend.

Hi T.A.
When you write a series,how do you keep track of the characters,plots,world? Do you have spreadsheets or notebooks.
How much time is spent in doing research for world building or character development?
Have a great weekend.
