This new series which I announced on May 14 will start next Tuesday, June 1.
The response from the authors invited to participate has been incredible and I am pleased to announce that Sean Michael is the latest author to lend his expertise to help new M/M authors improve their techniques and writing skills in the genre. Most of you know that I’m a great fan of Sean’s writing and I’m very happy that he will be part of the team.
I had asked for some suggestions to name the series rather than my own very lame attempts and I have reduced the suggested names to four which I would like you to vote on:
Getting M/M Romance Straight (Both Feliz and Ingrid suggested different versions of this name)
Between the Covers with the Best (Missy Welsh)
Hands-on Advice to New M/M Authors (LadyM)
Ins and Outs of M/M Romance (KimW)
There were other funny suggestions such as “Metriculating with the Masters” from T.C. Blue; “To Help You Boldly Go” (Chris thought this would be a great name); “Mentoring by the Masters” (another thought from Feliz); ‘M/M Authors Reveal All’ by Alexi (she’s obviously thinking the series is about something else); “Hot Stuff” and “Coming Out” were suggested by Ashley Ladd.
So what do you think? Which name do you prefer? Sorry, the time for new suggestions is over. I need your vote by this Sunday, May 30th.
Please leave your vote on this post. Thanks guys.
Actually, I kind of like ‘M/M Authors Reveal All’. My second choice would be the ‘Hands-On Advice To New Authors’ one.
I like The Ins and Outs because my mind resides mainly in the gutter. 🙂
These four are all good! Number #1 has a nice ring. Numbers #2 and #4 make me laugh, which is always a good thing, but I think #3 gives the most precise description of what I think you have in mind with this new series:
Hands-on Advice to New M/M Authors
(that’s my vote) 🙂
Ins and Outs…
Ins and Outs
I like the double entendre and humor of the others, but agree with Val on #3 if you’re looking for the most descriptive.
Initially I couldn’t decide between “Hands On…” and “Ins and Outs…” but I think, for me, the second one wins (“Ins & Outs…”)
My first choice would be Getting M/M Romance Straight. I also like Ins and outs.
1st – Getting M/M Romance Straight
2nd – Ins/Outs
Ins and Outs of M/M Romance… definitely! 🙂
I’m bucking the trend here, I like ‘between the covers……’
Well, my mind went straight *snort* to the gutter when I read: “Ins and Outs”….but I really do like it too!
I like when the title reflects the content. My favourite: Hands-on Advice to New M/M Authors 🙂
Ins and Outs
Getting M/M Romance Straight
Ins & Outs.
Do I get to peep up in here since I made a suggestion ?
If so: I still like “Getting mm romance straight”,
but I must admit,
“Ins and outs” has its appeal too
😉
