Carolyn and Rachael chat with Sarah Lyons, editorial director at Riptide Publishing, about today's marketplace, including diversity in publishing. Sarah Lyons has a Ph.D. in English Literature from the University of Michigan.  She is founder and past president of the International Association for the Study of Popular Romance and has published academic articles on Jane Austen, J.R. Ward, & Suzanne Brockmann. Sarah comes to editing from two directions: from her academic work on popular romance studies and from reviewing for Dear Author. Academia taught her how to analyze narrative structure. Reviewing romance for almost four years taught her how to spot dubious motivation and wooden dialogue at thirty paces.
