What is The Loose Cravat?

The Loose Cravat is your heavily-researched, gossip-oriented introduction to romance history mixed with queer pop culture. Perfect for gunslingers, reformed rakes, and kissable spinsters, this newsletter covers all things romance through the lens of a gay wallflower.

My name is Chels. I’m a writer, romance book collector, podcast co-host, and the person behind that one BookTok account that’s obsessed with Fabio. I’m happy you’re here!
