Romantic Leads

by Janine Taylor

A lighthearted look at the most popular fiction genre: romance. Something new and entertaining for a largely neglected audience.

Who reads romance novels? Apparently, many of us, but most keep a it secret. Romance novels are consistently on the best seller lists and statistics suggest the average reader of romance is a highly-educated mother, who owns her own home, her family income is higher than average and she is a regular newspaper reader.

Just like daytime drama, romance novels are afforded precious little respect and therefore are often overlooked by newspaper editors. Well, Romantic Leads offers your paper the opportunity to embrace that demographic. Each column provides a few choice selections from the world of happily-ever-after to help your readers spend their entertainment dollars wisely.
