  • ELOISAELOISA On…On… Being “ Outed;” a Knight in the Life; Passions of Faith and Fiction
    Avon Books An Imprint of HarperCollinsPublishers _______________________________________________________________________________ 10 East 53rd Street, New York, New York 10022 Media Contact: Pamela Spengler-Jaffee, 212.207.7495 / [email protected] Joanie Gidas, 212.207.7509 / [email protected] ELOISAELOISA on…on… Being “ Outed;” A Knight in the Life; Passions of Faith and Fiction Eloisa on…Being “ Outed”: Last year Eloisa James "came out," revealing to her friends and colleagues that she'd written nine bestselling novels behind their backs. She brought a box full of romances and a power point presentation into the English Department meeting at Fordham University. She visited the Dean of Faculty, the Dean of the Graduate School, and the Dean of the Lincoln Center campus individually. She handed out loads of books to disgruntled friends and querulous relatives. An academic peer (Julie Crawford, assistant professor of Early Modern Literature at Columbia University) noted, "It's pointless to ignore the power, the pleasure, and the craft employed in well-written romances, such as those of Eloisa James." Jocelyn Wogan-Browne, Chair of Late Medieval Literature at the University of York, England, said in defense of Eloisa and the genre, “Romance-reading shouldn't be used by the academy as a way of reinforcing high-low culture distinctions in pursuit of its own institutional prestige. The sheer cultural weight of romance scripts and their presence in women's lives is what matters, and we can and should take all romances still more seriously than we do." After Eloisa wrote an op-ed defending romance for The New York Times, she almost crashed the Fordham server as manuscripts flooded her in-box from all over the country.

The dead bodies of Toussaint’s doctor and his wife lie in the backseat. When Nick crashes the car, police chief Martin Krug becomes involved in the case. Despite an easy murder confession from Nick, something doesn’t quite add up for the soon-to-be retired Krug. An itch he can’t help but scratch. Nick is extradited to his hometown of Claymore, New Hampshire—a New England beach town full of colorful characters, bed-and-breakfasts, and outlet malls—where the local scandal rocks the residents. Meanwhile his girlfriend, sixteen-year-old Emily Portis, rallies behind her boyfriend, her protector. THE LAST KID LEFT charts the evolution of their relationship and of Emily’s own coming of age, in the face of tragedy and justice. Rosecrans Baldwin is the author of Paris, I Love You but You’re Bringing Me Down and You Lost Me There. He has written for GQ, The New York Times, the Los Angeles Times, and The Guardian.

  • LOVE BETWEEN the COVERS a Feature-Length Documentary Film About the Little-Known, Surprisingly Powerful Community of Women Who Read and Write Romance Novels
    LOVE BETWEEN THE COVERS A feature-length documentary film about the little-known, surprisingly powerful community of women who read and write romance novels. INTRODUCTION Romance fiction is a female-powered engine of commerce, a multi-billion dollar business, and a tech-savvy global sisterhood. Women who write and think about relationships turn out to be amazing community builders. Love Between the Covers takes us inside this world, one of the few places where women are always center stage, where female characters always win, where justice prevails in every book, and where the broad spectrum of desires of women from all backgrounds are not feared, but explored unapologetically. SYNOPSIS For three years, we follow the lives of five published romance authors and one unpublished newbie as they build their businesses, find and lose loved ones, cope with a tsunami of change in publishing, and earn a living doing what they love—while empowering others to do the same. We watch romance authors and readers building communities and friendships that don’t just exist on social media sites, blogs, and message boards, but also transition into the real world. We accompany authors on trips with their readers, at conferences and special romance events -- and we see them encouraging their readers to become writers themselves. During the three years we’ve been shooting Love Between the Covers, we have witnessed the biggest power shift that has taken place in the publishing industry over the last 200 years. And it’s the romance authors who are on the front lines, pioneering new ways to survive in this rapidly changing environment.

SYNOPSIS Love stories are universal. Love stories are powerful. And so are the women who write them. Love Between the Covers is the fascinating story of the vast, funny, and savvy female community that has built a powerhouse industry sharing love stories. Romance fiction is sold in 34 languages on six continents, and the genre grosses more than a billion dollars a year -- outselling mystery, sci-fi, and fantasy combined. Yet the millions of voracious women (and sometimes men) who read, write, and love romance novels have remained oddly invisible. Until now. For three years, we follow the lives of five very diverse published romance authors and one unpublished newbie as they build their businesses, find and lose loved ones, cope with a tsunami of change in publishing, and earn a living doing what they love—while empowering others to do the same. Romance authors have built a fandom unlike all others, a global sisterhood where authors know their readers personally and help them become writers themselves. During the three years we’ve been shooting Love Between the Covers, we have witnessed the biggest power shift that has taken place in the publishing industry over the last 200 years.
