PW really said "we don't want poors in our romance kthx" twitter.com/SoniaHartl1/st…Hey so, good opportunity to make it EXPLICITLY CLEAR that romances depicting non-wealthy (or even middle class) experiences are very important to me!!!
This is true in all genres, but romance gets a special call-out bc um, poor folks deserve swoony love stories too? Obv??

not a week goes by that I don’t think about this painting. the human feet. the shawl. the smoke rising from the chimney. the crevice in the tree. the way the grass looks like waves I can almost hear it. whatever this kind of horror is, I want it #MSWL
