Description: Love Change Everything The need for inclusiveness, the strength of the #MeToo movement, and the power of love When it comes to romance, the best stories provide swoon-worthy escapism mixed with real-life problems. Joanne Grant, editorial director for global acquisition at Harlequin, explains, "Romance readers want to see themselves reflected in the books they read...this should be a fundamental change to the makeup of the publishing landscape rather than a passing 'trend.'" However, changes are happening "not nearly at a rate to mirror our growingly diverse population," says Norma Perez-Hernandez, assistant editor at Kensington. A social worker who advocates for children under her care, she faces harassment from the senior partner in the hero's law firm, which is working for her cause. What's Next: Neurodiversity Romance inclusivity is extending to nonneurotypical protagonists who have attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder, dyslexia, and other developmental differences.
