About Romantic Times
Romantic Times was founded by Kathryn Falk when she realized there wasn't a publication dedicated to the massive romance market. According the magazine's history (available on the website), the publication started out as a typewritten fanzine before growing into a slicker, glossier, nationally distributed magazine.
During most of the eighties, the magazine was printed bi-monthly in a newspaper style format. In the nineties, they grew into the current magazine format, slowly expanding the books reviewed from simply straight romance to include "women's fiction", mysteries, science fiction, and other mainstream novels they feel might be of interest to their readers. In 2005, Romantic Times added "Bookclub" the magazine's name, hoping to attract a broader audience as part of this effort.
