Brand Tone

Friendly, Passionate, and Relatable with a Confident, "Spicy" Edge

Brand Values

• •Entertainment and Escapism
• •Emotional Connection
• •Community
• •Guaranteed Reader Satisfaction
• •Interconnectivity

Best Practices

• •Embrace the Tropes: Clearly and consistently use popular romance trope names (e.g., "age-gap," "grumpy/sunshine," "forced proximity") in your marketing copy. Readers in this genre often search by trope, and this makes your books easily discoverable.
• •Balance "Swoon" and "Suspense": Your brand promise is a mix of high emotion and thrilling plots. Ensure your copy reflects this duality. Use words like "heart-stopping," "swoon," and "secrets" in ads and descriptions to appeal to both romance and suspense fans.
• •Maintain a Relatable Author Voice: Continue using the friendly, slightly humorous, and personal tone established in your bios and social media. Share behind-the-scenes content and personal anecdotes to strengthen the connection with your community. This makes the brand feel less like a corporation and more like a trusted friend.
• •Speak Directly to Your Reader: Use inclusive, community-focused language like "Book Besties," "my readers," and ask for their opinions in polls and emails. This reinforces the value of community and makes your audience feel seen and appreciated.
• •Be Confidently "Spicy": Don't shy away from the steamy aspect of your brand. Use confident and playful language like "sexy," "spice," "alpha hero," and even "smut" where appropriate (like with merchandise). This self-awareness attracts your ideal reader and filters out those looking for "clean" romance, ensuring better audience alignment.
