I think there is a correlation between today's confession stories and today's contemporary category romances. You really need to read the various magazines to see the type of work they prefer. Some want no sex scenes, others demand two sex scenes per story. But as a group we can take different magazines and study and break them down so we can share the information with others. That is the purpose of creating a confession writer's network.
Some editors are more supportive than others.
Here is another reason to share with other writers. The supportive editors are the ones we want to deal with. Okay, so there is a lot of information we all need to help us to become successful confession writers. My goal for the summer is to complete a dozen NEW confessions. I've done six and they are out and being held.
