I was sitting on this bomb-ass beach and saw some disturbing news with #RWAVivian2021 . I have an idea. I think it's time for Romancelandia to create an inclusive "test" for our genre. Kinda like the "DuVernay test" or "Bechdel test" It won't be fool-proof but it's a start.
The "test" will help us review standards we’re aiming for when it comes to measuring inclusion within a romance novel. It won't solve for all. Let's call it the HEART Test. I'll kick it off below, but open to changes. This works better when it's collaborative.
IMPORTANT: Just because a book passes the Heart test doesn’t mean it’s a quality book, however, it is a starting point to see how much effort the author made to create an inclusive romance story.
