About this listen
In this episode of The Author Next Door, Angela Haas sits down with romance author Holly Lyne to discuss the continued dominance of romance in today’s publishing landscape and what that means for indie authors.
They explore why romance accounts for more than half of the most sold Kindle titles, how reader expectations shape the genre, and why understanding subgenres and tropes is essential for success. The conversation also touches on dark romance, taboo themes, and how authors should approach reviews and reader feedback.
In this episode, they discuss:
- Why romance leads today’s Kindle marketplace
- The importance of reader expectations in romance
- What defines dark romance and its appeal
- Why engaging with negative reviews can hurt more than help
