| Synopsis: |
'Do I hear the cynics among you say that romance is dead? Not for millions of readers who find escape between the covers of a paperback novel...' So you want to write romantic novels. If you think it's a quick way to make a fortune, forget it. Often the novel that's easy to read and slips down as easy as blancmange has taken a great deal of skill on the author's part to create that very impression. This book will show you: how to structure a romance, build convincing characters, open chapters, and write love scenes; how to do the research which gives a historical or contemporary romance its authenticity; how to submit manuscripts to publishers and survive rejection. How to break into the American Romance market; all this, plus 'Tips from the Tops' - some of the best-selling authors in the genre, such as Catherine Cookson and Jilly Cooper offer their writing advice. And remember that the most glittering names in the romantic fiction world had to begin somewhere. None of us was born a writer, however glamorous that may sound. It's a craft to be learned, and one that can bring immense pleasure and satisfaction. |
