Lille's romance festival marks a decade
The New Romance Festival, running October 29 to November 1, brings together more than 40 authors and an expected 5,000 attendees for its tenth edition.
The New Romance Festival opens its tenth edition in Lille this week, running from October 29 to November 1, according to Livres Hebdo. Over ten years, the event has become a fixture for readers of the romance genre, the outlet reports.
This year's edition gathers more than 40 authors and is expected to draw around 5,000 festivalgoers, Livres Hebdo reports. The anniversary comes as the festival's growth is seen, according to the outlet, as evidence of a broader differentiation strategy pursued by its organizer, the publisher Hugo Publishing, which has built the event as a distinct identity within the romance publishing landscape.
Livres Hebdo gives no further detail on the program, guest list or specific activities planned for the four days in Lille.
