Love is definitely in the air!
In 2023, The Economist estimated that sales of romance and saga fiction were worth £53m in the UK alone – an increase of 110 per cent in three years.
This rise is boosted in part by TikTok/BookTok and Netflix series such as Bridgerton and One Day, along with the #RespectRomFic (Respect Romantic Fiction) initiative and the RNA (Romantic Novelists’ Association). Both organisations aim to raise the profile and standing of the genre, celebrating the joy and fulfilment that romantic fiction brings to readers everywhere.
Regency, rom-coms, romantasy, historical, paranormal… whoever you are and however you love, romantic fiction has something for you!
