This was pretty surprising... these statistics show the popularity of the romance genre. I wonder how much of the population is based on men and women. I also think it is interesting that this site has a fan club and meetings for romance novels. I can only imagine all these little old ladies having tea and discussing their favorite parts in whatever romance they just finished.
"Frustrated with writing conferences that seemed to ignore romance writers, and individually voiceless against daunting New York publishers, the founding members realized the need to unite. They organized writing conferences geared to nurture the careers of romance writers, created a nationwide network of romance writing peers that shared information and supported each other. The result is the 9,500-member strong writers association that is today considered "The Voice of Romance." Currently, RWA has 9,500 members worldwide; with 1,600 members published in book-length romance fiction. "
