Futuristic Romance


The future is uncertain, but writers know what will happen.


Why so dystopian?


Leonardo DaVinci invented planes hundreds of years before they were built.

Jules Verne invented the submarine decades before the first one floated below the sea.

H. G. Wells told us to fear invaders from space until ... oh, we're still waiting. But when aliens arrive, they will surely bring some sort of violence if you can believe mainstream alien-involving fiction.

In recent years, it feels as if most published sci-fi books and movies have humanity revert back to rigid structures with horrific bloody sacrifices that make the Aztecs and Mayans look like a bunch of fun surfer dudes. Many writers have created political structures in their books that feel like a marriage between North Korea and The Third Reich. Why so dystopian?

As writers, we create the world that we want to live in. Because while we write, that world can feel more real than that outside of our living room window. At the same time, no matter how sordid and violent we make it, we are safe from that world.

The romances we put into futuristic worlds are completely free from any restrictions. There is no history to go by since it hasn't happened. There are no limits to how far into the future you want to set your story. No limits on which continent or planet or galaxy.

Dare to create a future that is fun to live in. Dare to write futuristic romances where your protagonists' troubles don't come from a harsh ruling caste, but maybe from a return to nature. Even dare to write futuristic romances that are easy, fun, and simply cute to read. Just because there are aliens or technology, life and love doesn't have to be a bad thing in the future.
