Surprising things I learned tonight from our guest speaker, romance writer and president of Romance Writers of Australia, Anne Gracie:
54% of the fiction sold in America is romance fiction;
There is a sub-genre within romance fiction which focuses on NASCAR racing. I kid you not.
And before I get heckled by resident Write On! heckler, Skinful - no I am not considering a career in romantic fiction.
But if you are interested in chasing the romance market, you could do worse than hook up with Anne’s organisation, Romance Writers of Australia.
