If in a plot twist Bton is actually poisoning traditionally published historical romance versus invigorating it lmao....................... Just my fucking luck.
#romance novel blogging
#as someone who wants to be published... ideally in HR
#it's been pretty concerning to see authors discuss how difficult it is rn in the subgenre
#and how much of that is potentially linked with this desire to chase a bton audience
#which is kinda antithetical to like... adventurous historical romance
#and the vast majority of bton viewers only read quinn's books iF THAT
#they don't care about the subgenre
#which is fine lmao they don't have to but only publishing books that you can comp to bton
#OR publishing books that aren't like bton but marketing them to that audience vs an audience that would enjoy them
#is probably really negatively impacting growth atm and it bums me out
#more as a writer than a reader
#lol i also feel like there's this cyclical issue w new authors
#where many who have bold new ideas are having a hard time getting their work out there so the subgenre stagnates
#and in turn a lot of newer HR readers only wanna read super established well known authors
#it feeds itself because like there seems to be a disinterest in exploration
#and just the same few authors constantly recommended
#but also... it's really hard to find new exciting different authors
#and a lot of new authors especially in trad are mimicking quinn
#which i get but i don't think it's working for anyone
#idk i try not to panic over it bc let's be real indie/self publishing is probs gonna be the way for....
#many romance writers in the future not just HR
#but HR also seems to be kinda hard to market w indie because a lot of indie breakout successes
#are successful bc of how WILD everyone thinks they are and HR has this decades-long rep of being v conventional
#i mean the one good thing is that this shit always cycles in and out w subgenre popularity
#nothing stays on top forever and things get rediscovered
#but lol i wanna make money off this someday so.
#....... sigh
#maybe i'll pivot to PNR just in time for that to make a comeback lmao
