So I submitted my story, good novels about real life subject matter, but no steamy sex, never a reply, no word what so ever.
So my wife and I are watching the news about a week ago and an 82 year old lady writes a "romance novel" the news caster stated that it was so "hot" that they could not read it on the air. A little old lady writes a porn novel and it's all over the news. Again I submitted my story to that channel (a different one) and no reply.
If I was 90 years old and wrote porn I could get news coverage, but if you write anything else you get ignored regardless of how good you are. No wonder so may people write "romance novels" or porn, it sells. However I see myself as a serious writer and will never write junk just to sell a book.
