At All About Romance, we’ve built our reputation on honest, thoughtful engagement with the genre, but that only matters if we’re meeting the needs of the people who come here. Romance has changed, and so have readers. This survey is our way of finding out whether we’re keeping pace with that change. We want to know what draws you to the site, what you skip over, what you wish we covered, and how we might do a better job of making AAR a place worth returning to. If you have five minutes and a few opinions, we’d be grateful.

This week I have been at my annual big family vacation in the North Carolina mountains. We’ve been coming to the same “family camp” since I was a child–this year there are 24 of us. This year, the camp has a slogan “Welcome to this thin place.” I confess, this baffles me. It’s…

Whoa–2021 is almost in the books. Thus, it’s times to think about what we hope for in romance next year. Everyone’s likes and loves are personal and my list is just that. What’s on your list? Less lecturing, more laughter. It’s been a rough couple of years. For me, romance continues to be a balm….
