About this listen

Romance is serious business.


Welcome to The Romance Room. We saved you a seat. Together, we'll explore not just the craft of writing great love stories, but also the culture and world context that shape them.


Join me every other week for craft insights, writing encouragement, and big-picture conversations about what romance says about love, power, gender, and connection in our lives.


Whether you’re a romance writer, a voracious reader, or just curious about the genre everyone loves to debate, you’ll find a mix of practical advice and cultural commentary to keep you thinking long after the episode ends.


Are you ready to romance?

    Romance is the most popular genre in publishing...so why is it still so often disrespected?

    In the inaugural episode of The Romance Room, we’re diving into the myths about romance, why they persist, and why writing love stories is one of the most radical, hopeful things you can do as a storyteller.

    If you’re a romance writer, reader, or dabbler (or want to be one/all of the above!), you won’t want to miss this.
