Sarah chats with Ashleigh Gardner from Wattpad, who has been a guest of the podcast previously, about Muslim romance on Wattpad. They discuss the growing collection of romances by and about Muslims that are tremendously popular, and some of the very familiar tropes and plot hooks being explored - converting the bad boy, arranged marriages, surprise encounter with a rock star, etc. They also cover other trends that aren’t represented much in mainstream publishing that are growing exponentially inside this community, and what happens when readers say, “I don’t see me, so I’m writing me.”
