Love in the Time of Self‐Publishing: How Romance Authors Changed the Rules of Writing and SuccessBy ChristineLarson, Princeton, NJ: Princeton University Press, 2024. pp. 273. $29.95 (hbk)

What can we learn about working and organizing in the digital age from romance writers?According to Christine Larson, quite a bit.Love in the Time of Self-Publishing explores the strengths and failings of romance writers' associations to make this point.Larson presents the history and future of "Romancelandia" (the name for the world of romance writers, readers, fans, and books) as both a lesson and a cautionary tale of alternative forms of labor organizing for cultural industries and individuals.By examining the approaches and intersections of romance writing with gendered work, colorblind racism, and technology, Larson makes convincing analyses of this field and the digital economy writ large.
