To each his or ...LW, thanks for sharing my article. To each his or her own opinion, right? But can we not have a little respect when delivering it? Anonymous, if you don't like chick-lit that's perfectly acceptable and I respect your right to make your own reading choices. But attempts to write off an entire genre as if you speak for everyone are not going to work. And name-calling weakens your argument. If that really is your belief, let's see you argue it respectfully and convincingly.Cookie’s Momhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10539520794775363132noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5420136041899384436.post-77204469510650542982011-04-17T22:16:21.081+01:002011-04-17T22:16:21.081+01:00Thanks Patsy, Jane and Stephanie.

This is the type of ignorance our genre face, and I bet s/he hasn't read chick lit or romance, or any other book for that matter. <br /><br />H/she sure as hell didn't bother to click through to the original post!Louise Wisehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04585797594757452007noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5420136041899384436.post-57031292476117072082011-04-17T19:53:48.355+01:002011-04-17T19:53:48.355+01:00What an ignorant cowardly comment left by that Ano...What an ignorant cowardly comment left by that Anonymous poster. I think someone's a bit jealous!!! Women's fiction, chick lit, and romance bring in BILLIONS each year. <br /><br />If it's so poorly written, why is the competition so stiff?? If it's so terrible, why are tons of major NY agents repping it?? If the themes are so "slit-your-wrist" why are publishers printing them by the truckload??<br /><br />Bottom line, it's enjoyable to read, billions of people enjoy it, and NO ONE has the right to call anyone's work garbage!<br /><br />I am extremely proud to admit I read the genre and write it.Stephaniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17401931638397651614noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5420136041899384436.post-52689459997772431202011-04-17T13:11:20.106+01:002011-04-17T13:11:20.106+01:00What an utterly stupid comment, Anonymous.
