Editor in Chief Athina Paris

from Between The Lines Hosted by Corine La Font

Have you ever wondered what it takes to get published? Athina Paris has all the answers! As both a writer and editor-in-chief for RockHill Publishing, she knows what makes a book attractive. Athina and I chatted about her experience in both professions. As a writer, Athina focuses on character development as a way to carry a story forward. All of her 4 published books are in the Romance category, so we discussed how every story is really a love story. She also shared: ● Why Romance is a positive genre ● How to balance traditionally male and female traits such as assertiveness and softness in characters ● Why it’s important to write down ideas as soon as they come ● Why most authors are multitaskers As editor-in-Chief, Athina works hard on finding great new books worth being published. She revealed the 3 key elements that make a great book: 1. Writer’s desire - as a writer, you should be interested in whatever the book’s theme is 2. Publisher’s standards - that includes plot continuity, character development, as well as grammar and punctuation 3. Readers’ expectations - any writer wants to reach as many people as they can; follow the current trends and research your reader’s interests to create a bestseller! Athina is a wonderful, shy, and well-spoken woman who is so obviously in love with her craft! She has so much to share and teach, speaking with her was a delight!
