Mishmash of Comics and Romance
Posted by Rachel

I hope everyone had a nice holiday weekend and enjoyed a nice mix of lounging and productivity (mine was a bit too far on the side of lounging, but hey, I was in Cali with my family so I don't feel guilty about it).

 

Appropriately enough, it's been raining and drizzling all day to commiserate the first day-and a Monday no less-back to work after a holiday. ~Sigh~ I really need to remember to schedule in an extra day home before going back to work so I can catch up on my sleep.

 

Anyway, here is a mishmash (I just love that word) of items I've been wanting to share for a while. The original plan was to have all this brillant commentary and insightful analysis with each of them, but time marches on and I don't get to cover everything in detail, so here are the barebones of the matter.

 

Publishers have been looking at the most effective ways to put content online over the past few years and have made widely varying decisions. Marvel Publisher Dan Buckley talks about the new online archive for Marvel, both how it will work and what they want it to accomplish.

 

Ethnicity in mainstream literature is much improved, but minoritiy authors in genre fiction are still a rarity. Here's an interview with Edwina Martin-Arnold, a black woman trying to succeed in the romance industry. 

 

PW had a feature article on romance that covered the industry, the readers, why it's more diverse and dynamic than detractors will admit, and a breakdown of some of the subgenres.
