Coming attractions: Publishing Week!

Ladies (and gentlemen), we are proud to present...

Mr...

Black...

Lace!

Cue music from Chicago as Mr BL rocks onto the stage....

Okay, that's not our editor. We live lives of inordinate blessed luck and luxury, but that isn't, really, our editor. Then again, this is:



As the saying goes, "You can edit me any--" No! Stop! Don't say that! Because this week is all about professionalism. Filthy fillies we may be, but publishing's a business and the European Union spends a lot of hard man-hours banning exactly the sort of thing I just didn't say. (And if you can think of a better use for hard man hours, suggestions to the EU on a postcard.) So welcome to the week on the publishing industry...

On Monday, Janine Ashbless interviews Mr Black Lace, aka Our Editor, aka HQ, aka Adam Neville - whose frankness and generosity with inside information will make eye-opening reading for anyone wanting to get published, never mind with Black Lace.

On Wednesday, Olivia Knight looks at living the dream & writing full-time - the thrills, the terrors, and the tax forms, with a few tips for anyone looking to quit the day job.

On Friday, we're squeaking with delight to welcome back two familiar names, as guests: Kristina Lloyd and Mathilde Madden, who're poring over erotica covers, the subject of their new specialist blog.
