ICYMI: I built a starter pack of classic romances that goes all the way back to the 1950s. Selected to show the genre’s breadth, not simply to hit familiar highlights. It’s a lot of hidden gems, and I’ve probably left off at least one of your faves (gift link). #RomanceColumn #Romancelandia

For book lovers who have recently come over here, an easy way to join the conversation is with a starter pack. I made 2 and am in the process of making a 3rd, so if you’re a UK-based publisher, agent, bookseller, writer or blogger follow and let me know. 2nd pack follows… 💙📚 go.bsky.app/MjnUSwF

Did you know that MAI also accepts creative work? Creative responses can take any form, are peer reviewed using our fair, transparent approach and are an important aspect of creative scholarship. Honor Wilson's confessional in MAI 14 is a great example maifeminism.com/the-men-who-... #academicsky
