What’s behind the astonishing rise in LGBTQ+ romance literature?

Retrieved on: 
金曜日, 2月 16, 2024

Once upon a time, romance novels from major U.S. publishers featured only heterosexual couples.

Key Points: 
  • Once upon a time, romance novels from major U.S. publishers featured only heterosexual couples.
  • From May 2022 to May 2023, sales of LGBTQ+ romance grew by 40%, with the next biggest jump in this period occurring for general adult fiction, which grew just 17%.
  • But it turns out that this rise in LGBTQ+ romance was far from inevitable.

The business of romance

  • It’s simply more efficient for publishers to pursue a “one-to-many” business model – that is, to sell one book to a mass audience – than a “many-to-many” business model, selling a wider variety of books to many more small markets.
  • Starting around 2010, however, digital romance publishing – both from self-published authors and small digital-only publishers like Ellora’s Cave and Samhain – revealed a vast, untapped appetite for more varied romance.
  • Initially, big publishers tried to shoehorn digital romance authors into the blockbuster model by acquiring their books and issuing them in print.
  • As romance readers abandoned mass-market paperbacks for a wider, fresher range of stories, romance editors at large and medium-sized publishers realized they needed to become more like digital presses.

Making love pay

  • First, they hired new editors who had cut their teeth at tiny digital publishers with a history of releasing same-sex romance.
  • For our paper, we interviewed several of these editors, including Sourcebooks’ Mary Altman and Angela James, founder of Harlequin’s Carina Press.
  • James, formerly at Samhain, broke sacred publishing rules when she launched Carina, the first digital-only imprint at a traditional publisher.
  • The lower-overhead strategy worked so well that in 2020 the imprint created Carina Adores, an e-book and print line dedicated to LGBTQ+ romance.
  • Nonetheless, the structural changes they’ve made in romance imprints have fostered an outpouring of more diverse love stories.
