#now KISS
Text
Just read a fascinating report on book sales in Canada for 2023. Lots of info, but something I found particularly interesting is that romance sales were up 9% overall from 2022.
The genre driving that rise? Romantasy. Contemporary, rom com, and regency were all down (5%, 9%, and 35% respectively), while romantasy was up a whopping 235%. And yes, a lot of that momentum comes from social media and #booktok
They broke romantasy down further:
Adult fantasy/romance: +57% (presumably fantasy with a romantic subplot vs below, where it’s a romance in a fantasy setting?)
Adult romance/fantasy: +235%
YA fantasy/romance: +331%
So, anyway, the takeaway is this: all those romance and/or fantasy haters may be noisy, but they’re definitely in the wrong side of market growth and spending power.
(Go forth and make your fantasy characters kiss, my darlings. Turns out that while we’re living in a dystopian hellscape, our preferred form of storytelling escapism is people with swords and fancy clothes kissing. Sold.)
Info from here.
