Madison Connors has been in the publishing industry for over 13 years. Her credits include working for multiple newspapers as a columnist, staff writer and copy editor. She has contributed to many online websites and USA Today. She is a lover of all sub-genres of romance and especially loves historical westerns (1850-1930 depression era and contemporary) novels. She appreciates authors who write outside-the-box producing heroines of voluptuous stature and the not-so-perfect appearance as well as heroes who have quirks (think under-dog here) and loves the truest of true love connection between characters.
To name a few of her favorite romance authors would be difficult as she has a wide range of preferred authors.
Editing and promoting comes second nature as she has thirteen published novels under her pseudonym.
To submit a manuscript to Madison, please email her at mconners@prismbookgroup.com.
Jacqueline Hopper never dreamed of becoming a writer until a teacher read her poem to her class. That event alone incited Jacqueline’s interest in the writing realm. However, it wasn’t until after she began taking courses and honing her skills that her short and novel-length stories sold.
Since then, Jacqueline has participated in critique groups, acted as ghostwriter, proofreader and copy editor while continuing to pen her own stories. Her favorite authors include anyone who can pluck her heartstrings, reduce her to tears or make her double over with laughter.
Jacqueline is interested in fantasy, sci-fi, historical, mystery, humorous and contemporary romance. Fresh ideas are most appealing.
