Open Letter to
@PhoenixGroupUK
from the Romantic Novelists’ Association
This dismissive and sexist attitude towards the romance genre has to end. The genre written and read by mostly women generates billions of dollars for the publishing industry; that’s serious business.
Hey,
@PhoenixGroupUK
. In 2021, 8 million + physical romance novels were bought in the UK, not including eBooks & Audio. On behalf of the millions of writers, readers, publishers & lovers of love stories, we respectfully request that you ditch the romance bashing &
