romance

"There's psychology in anything if you're creating believable characters, but there's an enormous amount that's important that happens outside you, and science fiction and fantasy and detective novels and romances tend to be about action."

"In order to really hit a book out of the park, a writer/publisher needs to bring women to the party. The male writers who do count women as devoted readers write stories that often include a love Story within their overarching plot."

"I'd written women's fiction, chick lit, and historical romance.  Almost every agent I submitted to said, 'Wow, like your voice, but, um, the heroine is kind of ...grouch.'  Then, in 2010, I decided to try writing YA.  Suddenly, my heroines weren't grouch.  They were spunky."
