I need more question! Surely you must have some things you have always wondered about? The editor's black list, what happened to the semi-colon, why are golden showers forbidden...? Oh, that was just me then? ;)
I know I'm supposed to email questions to you, but an anonymous post will have to do.
I'm wondering what Treva is seeing coming across her desk. She sees what writers are writing, and she hears directly from readers. What really is selling well? Is paranormal romance giving way to romantic suspense, or is it stronger than ever? Are readers tired of vampires, or can they still not get enough? She has inside scoop we can't see well from out here.
That's what I'd like to know.

Hey, how much money has the best selling ebook at Loose Id made?
We can already guess what the worst selling ebook made. :)

A lot of epubs ask for "out of the box" in their submissions guidelines, but I don't feel their books are so much "out of the box" as "in a slightly different box". The "give us something different" instruction feels more confusing than useful when it comes to submitting something to an erotic romance epub.
I guess my question would just be to hear Treva's take on this.
Related, I read somewhere recently, a blogger commenting on how Loose Id's focus had changed. This had affected what the writer could submit to them. Could Treva maybe comment on how Loose Id has evolved in terms of what kind of stories they are publishing now vs. when they first got started?
