Romance writers often talk
about how they’re not taken seriously.
One writer,
who earns millions of dollars a book,
is regularly asked
when she’ll write “a real book.”
I don’t give a sh*t
about being taken seriously.
Romance is the number one selling genre.
More romance writers make a living
from their writing
than in any other genre.
Our readers take us seriously.
And because other writers
don’t take us seriously,
they don’t enter the market.
As Allison O’Kelly,
Founder of Mom Corps,
shares
“When I started,
I got a lot of patronizing pats on the head.
But sometimes that’s good.
Nobody took me seriously
at the beginning
so nobody tried to copycat
what I was doing.”
Not being taken seriously
can be a VERY good thing.
