I love histrom. I've written histrom. My histrom hasn't sold nearly as well as my contemporary.

I'm very much a "write what you want to write and damn the market person," but I was flat out told in 2015 that no publisher would buy histrom that wasn't set in the Regency or Victorian periods.

It shouldn't be. Romance is a massive genre, and histrom is a big part of that. There are a metric ton of cishet white women writing M/M histrom. That queer men of color are being excluded or discouraged from this category is a problem publishing should be addressing.

Read a sample of a Brit-set histrom that looked interesting. Never heard of the author before. Came to the second use of "bloody" in dialogue, said to myself, "I bet my kids, house and pension the author is American", checked the bio, yep.

Me in a beautiful but ridiculous hat! I don’t know how women managed to do much of anything in these getups! #💙📚 #histrom #romancelandia #booksky

Is there a histrom called “Pegging the Duke” bc there really should be

Historical romance is teaching modern readers that women have ALWAYS been fierce. We just weren't allowed to write it down. Until now. #HistRom #StrongWomen #AmWriting

like if there were a histrom that sold as well as Fourth Wing, every publisher would be tripping over themselves to buy histrom. readers can help here, I promise.

Real talk: Writing a marriage of convenience where they actually DISCUSS terms, expectations, and boundaries before the wedding? Revolutionary. Also should be standard. #WritingTips #HistRom

The more I research, the more I realize "proper" Regency ladies were absolutely FERAL. The affairs! The gambling! The secret political influence! #RegencyEra #HistRom #Inspiration

I just saw a post bemoaning the sad state of historical romance. I clicked through to the person's profile, found their best of 2024 list, and it as precisely one histrom on it.

Maybe it’s to my benefit that I came to histrom later in my reading journey and have a metric ton of backlist titles to work through for a great many authors, given that publishers are now pivoting away from histroms and trad pubbed histrom authors are going indie or moving to other genres.

The best villains are historical accuracy: poverty, lack of rights, social ruin, childbirth mortality. My fictional villain pales in comparison. #WritingLife #HistRom #RegencyReality

The best part of writing historical fiction? Creating women who would absolutely have been called "difficult" in their time. That's code for "interesting." #HistRom #StrongHeroines

Writing partnership dynamics: He thinks he's protecting her. She's actually protecting him. Neither will admit it. This is fine. Everything is fine. #PlotProblems #HistRom

but yes, absolutely, two of my favorite prose stylists in histrom, and both of them love an unlikely combination and a bonkers plot (though Kinsale more so, on that count)

And I get that you can want more of something that the market isn't giving you. I'm not accusing the person of hypocrisy exactly. But we ended up in a lull with histrom at least partially because of readers. And if histrom is going to revive, it'll happen at least partially because of readers.
