Love Between the Covers


A Documentary Film


Written, Produced & Directed by: Laurie Kahn


Releasing July 12th, 2016


Distributed by: The Orchard










Love

stories are universal. Love stories are powerful.  And so are the women who write them.





Love Between the Covers is the fascinating

story of the vast, funny, and savvy female community that has built a

powerhouse industry sharing love stories. 

Romance fiction is sold in 34 languages on six continents, and the genre

grosses more than a billion dollars a year -- outselling mystery, sci-fi, and

fantasy combined.  Yet the millions of

voracious women (and sometimes men) who read, write, and love romance novels

have remained oddly invisible. Until now.







For

three years, we follow the lives of five very diverse published romance authors

and one unpublished newbie as they build their businesses, find and lose loved

ones, cope with a tsunami of change in publishing, and earn a living doing what

they love—while empowering others to do the same. Romance authors have built a

fandom unlike all others, a global sisterhood where authors know their readers

personally and help them become writers themselves. During the three years

we’ve been shooting Love Between the

Covers
, we have witnessed the biggest power shift that has taken place in

the publishing industry over the last 200 years. And it’s the romance authors

who are on the front lines, pioneering new ways to survive and build

communities in this rapidly changing environment.
