Re: I only read part one...

Okay, calm down! CALM DOWN.

If you have read one paranormal regency (and I hope you mean "fantastical") it means one of two things:

1. There is no market
2. There is a huge untapped market

YOU NEVER KNOW.

The only thing you can do is send your ms. to the publishers that do paranormal and hope for the best.

I will tell you this: I have yet to find a paranormal regency that worked that I could buy for one reason or another. For my part, there is a market for really good paranormal regency. Any other editor would tell you the same thing -- there is always a market for good books.

Also, do not forget that publishing cycles, so there might be a mrket in two years.

Also, I am almost positive I have said it before, but: what you are seeing on the shelves? Is stuff that was bought two years ago. This is actually part of seeing publishing holistically -- you have to see what isn't there as well as what is.

Good luck.
