Now that I’m back from Shanghai, I am back on the ball with the PhD.
An important part of my research is obtaining the views of romance readers and romance writers. I have been working on these surveys for a few months and they are ready to launch.
Now there are two surveys: one for romance readers and one for romance writers. Please use the correct link!
Yes. Romance writers can be romance readers but I have questions on their romance reading in the writer survey so you don’t need to do two surveys.
I think the survey can take up to 15-20 minutes to do. I do it quicker but I’ve been looking at it many times. So do allow some time.
I am also going to select some people for a follow up interview. There is space to indicate your willingness to be involved in this is the consent form. The consent form is the first part of the survey.
This survey is for my PhD, which is examining romance fiction. Please help!

Thanking you all in anticipation. Donna!

Given that you’re separating out writers from readers, I was wondering if romance scholars count as “readers” or whether we don’t fall into either category?
Hi Laura. Yes, I thought about that in relation to editors. I’m thinking that if you are a romance reader then the romance reader survey is the best. If you also write romance then the writer one as it includes reader preferences.
Hi Donna,
Great survey, very thought provoking. Really had to dig deep for some of the answers,
Cheers

Thank you for participating, Chris. I have high hopes of the results and analysis of these surveys.
Donna
Well, that was interesting. Certainly made me think about what I write and why. Good luck with it. I look forward to reading the thesis.
Thank you! The responses are very interesting from the few that I’ve peeked at.
Thank you for the opportunity to take part in the survey, Donna. The issues you raised have often been a topic of discussion for my critique partner and myself with regards to our potential responsibilities as writers. I would be happy to be interviewed if you find yourself short of candidates. 🙂
Thank you for participating. I will be getting to the interview stage in early 2017. I hope you don’t forget me.
