Earlier in the year, the NJ Romance Writers had Marcela Landres do a workshop and as always, Marcela gave us some great points on improving our work.
Well, Marcela is going to be a guest blogger all next week! Marcela will be discussing commercial women’s fiction: what’s in, what has-been, and what’s on the horizon.
So mark your calendars for the week of February 26 (Monday) through Friday March 2. Drop by and chat with Marcela!

Hi Marcela!
You mentioned edgy YA. My editor at Berkley mentioned the same thing to me. What in the world does that mean?
Hi Marcela! I hope all’s well. I’m an aspiring Latina writer, who aims to finish her collection of short stories and poetry and find an agent by October 2007. I understand the significance of a writer’s platform, and as such, I’ve been working on my own. However, I have found very few Latina/o-friendly contests and journals. What are some contests and journals that I can apply to and instantly be seen with literary respect? Also, do you think that my October deadline is realistic?
Abrazos from a fellow comadre!
