Regency Debutantes: a Feast of Fictional Heroines
Author: Linore Rose Burkard
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. (In other words, she can be anything as long as it's attractive enough for the purposes of a romance. )
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.
But what is a Regency debutante? How is she different from other fictional heroines?

Getting your Book Published
Writing the book will also entail working with editors. You will go through many drafts and make a lot of revisions before you have the final manuscript.
Once you already have an agent and a publisher, the agent will help you understand the rest of the process. The agent makes money based on your success, so the agent will want to help you succeed. You can discuss books and Writing at the Book and Reading Forums . It's completely free. You can ask any questions that you have about authoring and publishing there.
