Over 51 million women in North America do it at least once a week… Read romance novels that is!
Who's Afraid of Happy Endings? is a witty, revealing and often surprising one-hour documentary that takes us into the fascinating realm of romance fiction. Weaving together the personal stories of three romance writers as they manoeuver their way to the top with an insider’s view of the romance-writing world, Who’s Afraid of Happy Endings? shines a spotlight on an industry that has turned the unending desire for love into a cultural phenomenon and a booming world-wide business. Ripe with dashing heroes and seductive sirens, romance dominates one third of all popular fiction sold in North America The romance fiction industry publishes 200,000 new books and generates over $1 billion in sales... Every year! From the hallowed halls of academia to the book pages of daily newspapers to suburban monthly book clubs - romance fiction has been labelled as trashy, formulaic, bodice rippers – even female porn. It truly is the Rodney Dangerfield of the fiction world. Who’s Afraid of Happy Endings? cracks the romance code and reveals the secrets to its enduring appeal.
