And for the most part, it's true. Of course, most of the books are written for a female audience. It's not a surprising statistic. But there is a growing, vocal movement of men who want to be romance authors. Recent letters to the Romance Writers of America forum include complaints from male members that they are excluded in everything from conferences to story lines.
Conferences are too female, they say.
Editors won't look at story lines that are written from the male point of view. All these men want is to be themselves and write romance. They don't want to hide behind women's names. They want to be accepted. With the variety in romance today, it's not inconceivable that there could be stories written exclusively from the male point of view.
