Anyone who is keen to learn the basics of writing a romance novel and doing it well enough to potentially earn a living out of continuing to write them should have a copy of Kate Walker’s 12 Point Guide to Writing Romance.
The 12 Point Guide is an excellent reference guide for romance writers of all levels–easy to use and very easy to read.
This edition is Kate’s second, the first sold out! And she’s taken the time to update much of the information as well as include a new section “From the Author’s Desks” where she’s gathered information from authors writing for various romance lines (yours truly included) and has presented their open and honest comments for you all to read and enjoy.
Kate has been writing popular romance for more than 16 years and has over 40 books published. Not only that but she is a great tutor in workshop and conference situations as well. Believe me, what she doesn’t know about the industry, probably isn’t worth knowing.
