Defying gravity 🧙♀️💰
Scratch that itch for women everywhere. (ugh, you know what we mean)

So if you care to find me
Look to the western sky
As someone told me lately, "Everyone deserves the chance to fly"
And if I'm flying solo
At least I'm flying free
To those who ground me, take a message back from me
Tell them how I am defying gravity
I'm flying high, defying gravity
And soon, I'll match them in renown
Barnes & Noble famously banned 10,000 romance titles last year. Amazon regularly dungeons spicy stories. Patreon and Medium are pushing the genre out. Social media censors romance so aggressively that words like "seggsy" exist just to dodge the algo. The New York Times dismissed Fourth Wing as “smut” while calling Game of Thrones operatic because it’s “boy fiction” (seriously?).
Mocked, underestimated, labeled chick lit. And yet—romance is still the highest-grossing genre in publishing. A $4.8 billion industry, growing 40% year over year, while other literary genres decline.
Every time you click on a romance story, know that you’re helping the author defy gravity.
Happy Women’s Month, y’all. 🧙♀️💰
With love,
