Dive into the rich history of romance covers, from the iconic bodice rippers and Fabio look-alikes to the modern cartoon cover trend. Our panelists will reveal who actually decides the look of these covers and discuss why the current trend is both controversial and beloved. Hear insights on how cartoon covers have made romance novels more accessible and less embarrassing for readers, and debate whether they might mislead newer audiences. The authors will also provide predictions on future cover trends and examine how cover styles vary across different romance sub-genres.
