Dear Romancelandia,

I have scraped the data, done the math, and made the pretties. 20 years of RITA winners, plus two of finalists. BIPOC and white.

It's as bad or worse than you think.

Follow #RITAdata! #weneeddiverseromance #ritagh #amwritingromance #ritassowhite Cover: 20 Years of RITA Data, 1999-2019, Initial Findings Mar 24, 2019 I'm not gonna lie, this data made me nauseous. The numbers are damning. But someone needed to do it and I'd rather it be me doing the labor than a marginalized person.

Let's go.
