INTRODUCING: Meet Cute
meet·cute: an amusing first encounter between two characters in a rom-com
meet·cute: an amusing first encounter between two characters in a rom-com! or, us meeting and learning more about you and your rom-com habits.
To kick off the new year, we’re elated to introduce a new segment of this lighthearted romp of a newsletter: Meet Cute. It’ll be a short Q & A newsletter attached to the original Substack. Think Into the Gloss Top Shelf meets a Letterboxd List — this segment will delve into some of your rom-com-related (or unrelated) hobbies, hot takes, and recommendations and blast them into the world. You’ll get a chance to plug your own work, too! As a thank you, we’ll write you your own rom-com based on your faves and opinions.
When this newsletter started, we wanted to have guests galore. We’ve had a few here and there, but we want more differing opinions. This new part of our newsletter, released biweekly on Tuesdays, will give us the chance to talk to you, our dear readers! And any other noteworthy rom-com lovers. We’ll hear from you about your favorite rom-com moments, your opinions about the genre as a whole, and even write you your very own rom-com.
How romantic is that!
Is it like guest essays?
No, it’ll be more fast-paced. Quick bites, if you will. Short answers, and even shorter questions. But maybe, with the right conversation, it’ll lead to a longer piece!
Is the Thursday issue still being released?
Uh, of course it is. We’ll still bring you our essays, lists, and rom-com hot takes.
Who will be featured? Can I get involved?
We’re looking for rom-com heads in any shape and size! Journalists, industry folks, academics, anyone. You reading this. Just respond to any of our emails, message us on social media, reply to us on Twitter about it and we’ll set something up!
More questions? If you reply to any of our emails, we'll respond ASAP.
