Yazı tipi:

My first foray into Mills & Boon was through a module on my university course about popular fiction. I raided the charity shops, read loads and became hooked! As well as gaining a massive amount of respect for the authors because they’re not easy to write! I then went on to write my dissertation on Romance - from Jane Austen to Mills & Boon and of course eventually landed my dream job of editing them! Editor Carly Corcoran
