Storytelling - is it the new rock and roll?  Peter sounds a note of caution on the latest “short-cut to bestsellerdom” that’s being sold to writers.  In today’s Write Report, Donna reports that Mills & Boon has its best year ever - clearly, romance never dies when they’re selling one book every three seconds.   And the recession bites booksellers hard - maybe they should fill the shelves with romance titles?  In Eve’s Salmagundi Club, she discovers two websites that check your manuscript for symptoms of bad writing - useful for all those romance novels we’re going to grind out?
