Exploring Romantasy: Darker Themes and Evolving Definitions

Katee Robert joins me to talk about her many releases this year, about marketing through Kickstarter and direct-to-reader options like Patreon, and about the foundational books in fantasy and romance that got her started.

We also talk about current issues, like Findaway Voices and Spotify’s changes to the terms of service for authors.

You can find Katee Robert on her website, KateeRobert.com. You can also check out her Patreon.

We also mentioned

• Modern Postcard
• Bonkers Romance
• The Bonkers Romance Kickstarter
• NK Jemisin's Patreon
• Ursula Vernon/T Kingfisher's Patreon
• Changes in the Findaway Voices ToS
• And former PRH CEO Markus Dohle's comments under oath:

“The trial put the inner workings of the company on public display in sometimes unflattering ways. In his testimony, Dohle argued that success in publishing is driven by instinct and random luck, not necessarily a company’s size — an argument that the judge found unconvincing. And he revealed his dissatisfaction with the company’s performance since the 2013 merger.”
