As a successful fiction and features writer, for many UK magazines...novelist...university tutor, I just wrote you a lengthy response regarding trashy fiction.
About how many students graduate from Oxbridge/other supposedly esteemed seats of learning, worldwide, clutching degrees in literary condesention.
About how one reader's trash is another reader's Shangrila.
My email may have answered several of your Mills and Boon queries.
But, when I tried to send it, a message came on screen, regarding ONE word which would offend Americans. That word was d*m*n*d. Sad, or what?
That is the real meaning of trash. Shallow.
I can't be bothered sending it again. All I will say is, that reading, like good wine, is a personal choice.

: : i need to know the gist of the mills and boon formula for a book review (yup, gonna be mean and compare it to trash romance..how horrid of me!)I kind of know how they go, but I'm not sure if I've got it quite right...so if anyone can help111111 me, or knows where i can find out, you'll have my eternal gratitude! honestly! love tam
: Thank you for liking what I said about writing.:) I really needed that. As far as what you posted about needing to know to complete your book report, I must confess that I don't know what the gist of the mills and boon formula means.
: Whereas I have not read many trashy novels...hmmm well perhaps that is not quite true. In fact I have written some trashy stories. None that I would share out of sheer embarrment. I hope that you find what you need to complete your book report. I shall continue to have fun with writing and hope that everyone has as much fun as I do.
: love
