The story centers a relationship that is, or becomes, romantic.
That story ends happily. Happy doesn’t have to mean simple—take us on a journey! Leave us feeling joyful, hopeful, satiated, blushing, changed.
One or more main characters embody experiences historically marginalized in romance fiction—ie. queerness, Black and brownness, sickness and disability, neurodivergence. We want to read about fat couples, trans protagonists, non-monogamous romance, butch-on-butch, multilingual romance, abolitionist romance. This is where we find ourselves reflected in a story where we don’t die! We’re not the sidekick or punchline or villain.
The author identifies as a Generous writer: they are LGBTQ+, BIPOC, and/or disabled, and they share the Generous Press vision, believing that romance fiction can be a balm and joyful way inward and forward, illuminating the power of self-love, genuine interdependence, and abundant pleasure.
The prose is poetic, literary-quality, gorgeous: rich in imagery, music, and metaphor. Generous authors might be coming to fiction from another genre such as poetry, literary fiction, or creative nonfiction.
