Lucetta L. Hynnes Papers

 Collection
Identifier: MS-0146

Collection Organization

The Lucetta L. Hynnes Papers house the manuscript and set of proofs for her second novel (written as Caroline Light), Minor Royalty, as well as correspondence between her and her editor. The letters are the strength of this collection for, containing information pertinent to the business and editorial aspects of publication, they address hidden aspects of the writing and publishing process that are normally left invisible but always present between the lines.

The book Minor Royalty was published in 1988, however please note that the related manuscript materials in this collection are undated.

Researchers interested in the historical romance novel and in the process of publication will find this collection useful.
