Romance is the heart of publishing. It’s the most lucrative, far-reaching genre, captivating millions of readers across the globe. Yet, it’s often misunderstood, dismissed, and derided. The Happily Ever After Society sets out to change that narrative.
This visually stunning photography book shines a spotlight on the extraordinary creators behind romance novels— the authors who inspire hope, joy, and love with every page they write. Through evocative portraits and heartfelt interviews, it offers an intimate look at the individuals crafting the stories that dominate bestseller lists and touch hearts worldwide. It’s a tribute to the creativity, resilience, and unapologetic passion of romance authors and their stories.
From steamy contemporary tales to queer romances and sweeping historical epics, this book celebrates the diversity and power of a community that’s as inclusive as it is inspiring.
The Happily Ever After Society isn’t just a book; it’s a love letter to a genre that unapologetically champions joy, hope, and connection—and to the readers who know its power.
Much like an independent film, The Happily Ever After Society relies on funding for essential elements like locations, wardrobe, production, and a dedicated creative team. Backers aren’t just supporting a book—they’re helping bring a large-scale artistic vision to life, turning this project from an idea into a beautifully crafted reality.
The heart of the book consists of photos and interviews with 40 legendary romance novel authors as well as some up and coming Bookstagram and Booktok stars. We’ll learn all about what inspires them, what it takes to make it as an author in today’s changing world, as well as how they craft a compelling Happily Ever After.
As of March 6th, this project has raised $47,000 of their $65,000 goal. This project has 14 days left to raise the $65,000 or it will not be funded. For a pledge of $5, you will get behind the scenes access. For a pledge of $40, you will get one e-book.
