The Romance Writers of America (RWA) – a grassroots readers massing run amuck but somehow managed to organise themselves into a holy s**t national org that has great weight in shaping the genre as well as whipping publishers – has belatedly, after much lobbying I’m sure, officially created approved a chapter for LGBT romance. The Rainbow Romance Writers of America now have a niche in the greater heterosexual romance bookbuyers’ consciousness. Let’s see what happens after this.

Just a quick correction: RWA did not create the GLBT chapter. A group of individuals got together and applied for recognition as a special interest chapter, and RWA approved the application.
