 Love Between the Covers Showing, award winning documentary on the romance genre

Venetian Theater & Bistro, 253 E. Main Street, Hillsboro, Oregon 97123 

$7 per person online

$10 at the door

Love stories are universal. Love stories are powerful. And so are the women who write them. For three years, we follow the lives of five published romance authors and one unpublished newbie as they build their businesses, find and lose loved ones, cope with a tsunami of change in publishing, and earn a living doing what they love—while empowering others to do the same. Romance is the behemoth of the publishing industry; it outsells mystery, sci-fi, and fantasy combined. Yet no filmmaker has ever taken an honest look at the amazing global community that romance writers and readers have built. Until now.

Doors open at 3pm, film event starts at 4pm

The first 100 attendees to arrive at the theatre will receive a special event goodie bag.
