Listen "Romance - How is it so successful?"
Episode Synopsis
The Romance genre is a BILLION DOLLAR juggernaut as far as books go; millions upon millions of romance novels are consumed yearly, making it the top most profitable genre in the entire book industry!
Although it is highly successful. it seriously lacks diversity: “out of the 3,752 romance novels released by 20 major imprints in 2017, only around 6 percent were written by nonwhite authors.” (https://www.nytimes.com/2018/07/07/books/romance-novels-diversity.html)
Can the Romance novel community continue its reign as the top earning genre? Or will their lack of PoC writers threaten to take them under?
