I’ve got a fun episode today. The topic? Romance fiction. My guest is Sarah Wendell. Sarah is the founder and editor of the popular romance fiction blog, Smart Bitches, Trashy Books.
She’s also the author of two books on the topic of romance fiction, including Beyond Heaving Bosoms: The Smart Bitches’ Guide to Romance Novels.
In our conversation, Sarah talks about:
- Why the romance genre deserves its rightful place among other popular fiction genres.
- What romance readers are looking for, and what she likes best in novels that she reads.
- How she created one of the most widely read blogs on romance fiction, and how she successfully monetizes it through advertising, affiliate marketing, and sponsorships.
- And she gives us a peek into her own writing process.
- …and much, much more
