In this episode of The Clean Romance Podcast, Sarah Ruth Hickner and Tiffany Noelle Chacon dive into the role age plays in today's romance and fantasy books. Why are so many protagonists in their late teens and early twenties? Do readers want more stories featuring characters in their thirties, forties, and beyond, or are we happy escaping into worlds filled with twenty-year-olds saving kingdoms and finding love? Join us as we discuss age representation, reader expectations, and whether it's time for romance and fantasy to broaden the age range of their heroes and heroines.
