Hello, Romance Writers! There's a free online panel taking place this Saturday, October 9, 2021. I spoke on a panel with C.C. Hunter a couple years ago and found her to be AMAZING. So when I heard about this online event and saw her name listed, I was excited to share the details.

​Today’s post dives into the developmental side of edits. If you’ve ever received feedback from a reader who expressed confusion about your opening chapter(s), there might be too much happening. Maybe the reader doesn’t feel grounded enough. Or maybe they’re unsure about the cast of characters. The purpose of this post is to help you differentiate the major characters from the minor ones—so the reader is clear about which characters to focus on.
