Lit From Within: Where Do South Asian Romance Writers Make a Name?


With a novella set to release in two months — my fourth India-set story, and the do-or-die of the Bollywood Confidential series before I move on to another subgenre — my mind is turned to marketing and promotion. I keep coming back to one question: Where does the South Asian romance writer go to find an audience, a support system, a foundation? (And, more importantly, a springboard to get our works Out There.) Do we look to our community, or to the romance community at large? Both are hard to break into, much less navigate.
