The Regency debutante comes in very handy for authors like me, even though she is as individual as the Writers who create her. She can appear in just about all shapes and sizes--within a framework of having the ability to attract "Mr. Right," of course. Half the fun of a Regency (or any romance) is being able to understand and relate to the heroine; therefore, she must be wonderful in some ways and definitely lacking in others; she must be attractive but not so perfect that you can't believe in her; she must strike a chord in every female reader who picks up your book, and any Writer can create such a character simply by making her human. That is the one thing we ALL have in common, our humanity, with all its foibles and faults. Linore Rose Burkard Writes Inspirational Romance with a special interest in the Regency. She also Writes articles on Regency Life, Parenting, and Self-Improvement.

Many people want to Write a book and have it published. However, very few ever have a successful book published. Generally, you want to Write a short, concise, one-page letter telling the agent about yourself and the book you want to Write. Such a synopsis needs to follow strict rules regarding formal outlines, so you will need to learn how to Write one if you do not already know. You probably want to Write the outline even if an agent has not asked for it yet. The publisher will generally pay you an advance to Write your book, assuming you have not written it already. Writing the book will also entail working with editors.
