I'd blogged about Maggie Steed's talk on writing My Weekly Pocket Novels after the RNA Conference in July, but it now seems they have undergone another change while I was away and are now called Easy Reads! Please ignore this if you already know about it as I'm just getting around to mentioning it now. I wonder why they are called Easy Reads - hope it's nothing to do with dumbing down (I wouldn't have thought so). Or is it just a ploy to attract new readers who don't have time for a long read like a novel? Guess we'll need to do our research and buy a few.
You can see from the above picture that the categories are slightly different again, although they are still 50,000 words. Here's a link to
Sally Qillford's blog where she asked Maggie some questions about the new look Pocket novels. At least it's still a market looking for authors!
