Fortunately with the increase in small press pubs and ebook publishers, there are more chances for choice and more opportunities for real life portrayal.<br /><br />And Kimberlee, you are one of the reasons more stories are getting out there. You encourage your authors to be more receptive to their readers' needs. Thank you.<br /><br />Thank you both for dropping by.<br />Chelle<br />http://ChelleCordero.comChelle Corderohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15412268726863698528noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5350339348313810194.post-88005077358083650052010-05-18T18:10:01.792+01:002010-05-18T18:10:01.792+01:00Terrific topic and excerpt, Chelle!

As a publisher, I can't tell you how many 'perfect' characters we see in queries and submissions that, with just a touch of reality, could be relatable. Fortunately, I have you and a 'stable' of other spectacular authors who 'get it' and the ability to take chances on the not-so-perfect perfectly relatable characters and stories you all send us.<br /><br />KimberleeVHP Authors Bloghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17734249428512371214noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5350339348313810194.post-23573544161930249272010-05-18T17:18:55.067+01:002010-05-18T17:18:55.067+01:00Life isn't perfect and nor are the people who ...Life isn't perfect and nor are the people who live it -- I'm with you, the market needs to be open to what readers really want. <br /><br />Put them out there and give'em a chance.
