Managing editor Kate Cuthbert talks about her reputation for dropping dirty words at literary panels (and why she loves the C-word), why we rarely see politics in romance fiction, how much luck plays in a book's success, and rom coms as the new chick lit. Kate is currently researching the use of rural places in Australian popular fiction, so I ask her the question every PhD candidate dreads (but don't worry, she has it under control!). She also shares her thoughts on some up and coming authors that you might want to check out.
