Hello readers,
It's high time I posted about editing on my editing blog, and I might as well start with an FAQ. These are some of the questions I'm asked most frequently when people find out that I edit romance and erotica fiction. If any of you have questions of your own please feel free to post them in the comments below or Contact Me privately, and I'll try to answer them in my next post in this series.
Enjoy!

Are erotica authors less receptive to feedback than other authors because the text is more personal to them?
Thankfully, this hasn't been my experience so far. Anyone who writes a story has some attachment to the characters they create and has written things that personally resonate for them. How receptive an author is to editorial input is more a matter of their understanding of an editor's remit, their own attitude toward the writing and editing processes, and the strength of the relationship they have with their editor. I've been fortunate enough to work with erotica authors, as well as authors of various other genres, who are eager to improve their texts and who engage respectfully with my suggestions and comments even when they disagree with an editing choice that I've made.
