Affaire de Coeur

[erastes]

Two things:

1. They aren't receiving enough/ANY? copies of m/m romances to review. I applied for the review position but they tell me that they simply don't get any of this genre. What's going on, guys and girls? Why aren't you sending to them? I know they didn't used to review m/m but they sure do now!

2, They are in desperate need of a reviewer for erotica that isn't GBLT - please apply to Louise at AffairedeCoeur AT comcast DOT net

Even Standish was available 3 months out, from finished ARC to print was about four-five weeks, I think.

I do understand her pov a bit, because she says that with a printed magazine they have to impose deadlines - BUT they manage shorter deadlines - AND reviewing after publication for people who buy advertising, so why can't they do that for some of the others? Perhaps have a hat and pick 10 or so from the hat and they get reviewed after publication

Is it m/m sf/f? Rainbow Reviews definitely cover that, but I'm really not au fait with the sf/f market...

Yeah, I understand their position too. They don't want their magazine to constantly be 4 months behind the times.
