"It's definitely shifted from more of a male-focused fandom and such, to being broader based to any gender, whether it's female, male, non-binary," Colley said. Abby Yew, head of marketing at Canadian online storytelling platform Wattpad, says the rise in fandom culture has also expanded the genres people are interested in.Andrew Moyes, the expo's vice president said in a statement he's excited to welcome a diverse and enthusiastic crowd.
The Toronto-based self-publishing platform says it has seen first-hand a growing demand for romance novels alongside other genres like sci-fi or fantasy. More than 80 per cent of Wattpad users identify as women, Yew said, adding that the most popular genre is romance.
