WHAT IS LOVE?
ROMANCE FICTION IN THE DIGITAL AGE
A CONFERENCE AT THE LIBRARY OF CONGRESS
On February 10-11, 2015, Laurie Kahn, Popular Romance Project advisors, and Library of Congress Center for the Book hosted a groundbreaking, filled-to-capacity event at The Library of Congress. What Is Love? Romance Fiction in the Digital Age was a two-day Popular Romance Project conference that brought romance authors, readers, publishers, and scholars in many disciplines together for four fascinating panel discussions, as well as a special sneak-preview screening of Love Between the Covers.
The conversation that started at the Library extended to Twitter, where live-tweeting attendees opened the #POPROM panel discussions up to the world. You can read some of these live-tweets here. > > >
