If you write romance stories where Black women are front and center, this is your invitation to become part of the Soft Girl Era: Black Women in Love Author Directory. The Directory is a growing, private network of authors writing everything from sweet to steamy, contemporary to fantasy—with Black female main characters leading the way.
Sign up below to be part of future newsletter swaps, group promos, and author spotlights designed with us in mind.
If you write romance stories with Black women in the lead—whether they’re sweet or spicy, contemporary or paranormal—you belong here.
This form is for authors who want to:
✔️ Be featured in future group promos (even if you’re not on BookFunnel)
✔️ Swap newsletter mentions with other authors writing Black romance
✔️ Build a trusted internal network of creators centering Black love
If you write romance stories featuring Black women as main characters, you deserve to be seen—and to be supported by a community that gets it.
This form is the first step in joining a private author directory for Black female romance authors. This isn’t public-facing (yet)—it’s a resource we can all use to find one another, share newsletter swaps, and support each other’s work.
💌 What you’re signing up for:
Your pen name and author website will be shared with other members in the network via newsletter and, eventually, a public link on this website also accessible by potential new readers.
Information about genre, heat level, Bookfunnel participation and directory engagement will be used to organize swaps and future promos, etc.
Your personal information (name, email) will be kept private and used only internally.
You’ll be automatically subscribed to the Soft Girl Era: Black Women in Love Author email list, where you’ll receive occasional, relevant communications—like:
“Here are 10 Black romance authors with spicy contemporary books you might want to feature this month.”
“These 5 authors have new releases coming—interested in swapping newsletter mentions?”
“Upcoming themed promos: summer flings, holiday heat, second chances.”
Whether you’re promo-ready or just looking to find your people, you’re welcome here.
Let’s build something lasting—one story at a time. 🖤📚
