How is it possible that the romance genre continues to be judged so harshly even though it is a multi-billion dollar industry, often supporting bookstores so they can also sell other genres? Join editor and publisher, Jennifer McCord, in this discussion of her 30 years in the industry - the trends she's seen, the writers she's supported, and her thoughts on Romancelandia.

If you grew up with Jayne Ann Krentz, Sandra Brown, LaVryle Spencer, Nora Roberts and so many more, join us to hear Jennifer's wonderful memories of working with the icons in the industry as well as those who came after. This is guaranteed to be an amazing conversation for romance readers young and not as young :).
