Steve Ammidown, RWA's Librarian of the Year for 2019, is a genre romance historian who does important work on preserving a history that has too often been considered trivial, when not outright erased.
Cue his latest blog post on men writing genre romance:

Listening to the episode and having to stop and rewind it, because I keep going off in my head to elaborate on/respond to/contribute to every other point, and missing what's happening.
@Shelflove has posted links to the Black Romance and Historical conversation between @Elysabethgrace1 and @KatrinaJax (on twitter), with an appearance by @authormsbev --with transcript!

Steve Ammidown (@romancehistorian on instagram) just posted a reel where he talks about an author who, in the *1970s*, stopped writing for Mills & Boons and Harlequin (which was then M&B's USA arm), and, later on, with Silhouette, because they were cheating her, and about a hundred other writers, off royalties on their US reprints through Harlequin.
As always: authors, beware; it's not just small indies who'll defraud you.
