A number of weeks ago, I mentioned that I keep a "craft journal" — a journal that's about the books I've read with analysis through the lens "how can this inform my writing?"
Many iterations later, have a free PDF of what I'm calling "Reading Selfishly:"

If anyone ever accuses romance authors of not being "serious" writers, I would argue that I've never met a group of people more focused on the concrete logistics of growing and maintaining their careers.

Bertha is the embodiment of “and I’d do it again.”
Bertha Boronda.
Charged with "mayhem" for slicing off her husband's you-know-what with a straight razor.
Apprehended while disguised, wearing men's clothing and mounting a bicycle to make her escape
San Jose, California. 1908.
Mayhem indeed.

Just to address any worries you might have...
I approach romance with a lot of love.
This isn't a course that gets it jollies from beating down on the genre.
We'll be taking it seriously.
That means deep dives, complex histories, critical challenges, and exploring possibilities.

What will we be covering on the romance course I'm teaching (online) next year?
Well... just to name a few things!
Scandalous 18th century women writing desire!
Austen classics!
Brooding Brontë 'heroes'!
Regency mysteries!
Hen-loving sapphics!
Much much more!
