Romancing the Vote is a collective of romance authors dedicated to dismantling voter suppression in Georgia and the U.S. Co-founded by authors Courtney Milan and Kit Rocha (the pen name for Bree Bridges and Donna Herren), the authors met while writing romance and bonded over a shared love of protagonists fighting for a better world and stories filled with hope and triumph. The group has raised over $1 million through creative auctions for voting organizations like Fair Fight, VoteRiders, Black Voters Matter, and the New Georgia Project. Their first auction, Romancing the Runoff in 2020, initially aimed to raise $10,000 but ended up bringing in $500,000. Kit Rocha, known for their award-winning Beyond series and the Mercenary Librarians trilogy, has always written stories about strong women, messy worlds, and finding love. Passionate about civic engagement, they use their platform to support democracy, continuing their auctions to ensure voting rights for all.
