Literary Romance Opens Minds and Doors, Off- and Online

Despite being self-described as chronically online, I also spend a lot of time reading. I’ve been a big reader ever since I was a child. I loved it so much I read my way into an English Degree (just dropping my credentials). I love the romance genre, and thanks to social media, it’s a bit of a hot-button issue. Booktok, Bookstagram, Bookbook? Whichever platform you’re on, there's a community of readers discussing all kinds of genres; but it’s hard to get away from the conversation of romance if you love it or if you hate it, because that makes you engage.

(she/her) Raegan is a newly established Washingtonian. She graduated from Virginia Commonwealth University where she majored in English with a minor in Professional Writing and Editing. In her spare time she writes and reads romance novels— the smuttier the better. As a self-described serial hobbyist, she is always on the hunt for a new craft or class to dabble in. She also loves theater, music, art, and anything else where passion and creativity reign supreme. In her professional life she works in Emergency Preparedness at the Washington State Department of Health. Raegan identifies as a Black, polyamorous woman and is excited to amplify voices within those communities while sharing her personal experiences.
