I want to share with you a good news that I received an invitation
from a Taiwan female-central website (http://www.womany.net/) to write
columns about popular romance.
American popular romance have had a VERY bad time in Taiwan market.
While detectives and fantasy novel becomes more and more popular,
American popular romance the once-very-dominant genre have been losing
its readers in the market for more than ten years, due to the change
of reading habit and OUTDATED marketing strategy. Fortunately some
publishers decide to give it a try these two years (so that I got a
lot of works in a very short time). I hope my column will be helpful
to the promotion the market development of the genre in Taiwan (and
thus in China).
