    Synopsis

    *Comprehensive how-to information for beginning romance writers

    *The romance genre is the most frequent break-in route for unpublished novelists

    According to the Romance Writers Association, more than 50 percent of paperback fiction read and sold in the United States is romance, and more romance titles are published every year than in any other genre. Many writers try writing romance first because demand for the genre is so much greater than any other. For those new to the genre and/or to writing, this book provides a starting point for developing the skill set essential to writing a best-selling romance novel.

    On Writing Romance is a thorough reference that will provide readers with detailed descriptions of more than 20 subcategories within the romance genre, tips for avoiding clichés, specific instruction for creating the perfect romantic couple, guidelines for drafting those all-important love scenes, submission information for breaking into the genre, and much, much more.

    Great Insights Into The Romance Genreby AelleAbles

    Reader Rating:
    See Detailed Ratings

    November 11, 2009: This book gives you a lot of insight into what must go into a romance novel. But it also tells you what the reader is looking for and what you have to give them for your romance novel to ber a success. She was honest and straightforward, which I appreciated. Her discussion of point of view showed me how different romance is from other genres in that you have two points of view. You also have two story lines: the one about the pair falling in love and the story behind it. Great book. Useful information.
