Topic: Romance Group is recruiting ...

Hi to all writing romance novels, woman's fiction (that's read by both sexes despite the official genre classification), love stories, love scenes or anything remotely or not remotely (because you never know!) related to romance ...

This is just a reminder that we have a Romance Group on TNBW and anyone is welcome to join. smile

http://www.thenextbigwriter.com/group-romance-inc-32

And yes, this is an effort to get the group noticed by new site members! I have no shame ... tongue

Re: Romance Group is recruiting ...

I have a science fiction story about a resurrected Roman Empire, Christianity, mental illness, and a gay dead kid who keeps trying to make out with living guys. Probably not Romance, huh? ;-)

Just think of this as a shameless plug for more readers. :-)

You have that right. There is little sense in genre specification for fiction when all adult contemporary literature except sci-fi and porn is chick lit.

Personally, I have quite a bit of sci-fi on my shelves and consider the genre to be "chick lit". smile

But then sci-fi isn't what it used to be, too.

By all means Norm, this is a shameless post, so jump in and "market" your writing as much as you like, why not?! smile

Making out is sort of related to romance?! So who knows, you might have a question one day ... and now you know where to find us! smile
