Fat. Obese. Anorexic. Content. Always judging... These are a few of the words AAR staffers used to describe the way they see their bodies and their weights. We're sharing our stories today. We hope they help.

Actively seeking submissions for romance novels!

I love LGBTQ protagonists, full length novels (85K+), paranormals, historicals, fantasy romance, second chance love, enemies to lovers, sexy, daring.

[All About Romance @AllAboutRomance]

The @nytimes is, finally and respectfully, reviewing romance. This article, which assesses novels by @JuliaFLondon, @jennyholi, @AlyssaColeLit, @JayneAnnKrentz, and Loretta Chase, is worth celebrating. So we are!

"Guilty pleasure" is a garbage phrase and idea.

There is absolutely no reason to feel guilt for taking pleasure in reading.

Literary fiction is not inherently better than genre fiction.
