    I would be quite concerned about my future sales if I were a writer selling stories to The Lady.

    And what about that book a day claim?

    Quote from Paul Blezard: "I want to breathe new life into the ancien regime and introduce our readers to authors that they might not usually read."

    That probably translates as: "We want to attract younger readers."

    Ancien regime - does that mean he's a revolutionary?
  • CarolCarol
    I think it means trouble...;)

    Will have to look at this new version.

    I wonder if there will be new contributor guidelines to cover the relaunch. I tried looking at the website briefly but didn' find a link anywhere.

    I had a look at this new issue in Smiths today and the one fiction piece was by Victoria Hislop.
    I suspect this market will soon be lost.
