The Craft of Writing Romance
by Jean Saunders

Jean Saunders has so far written more than 100 books herself. She is a writing columnist and a tutor of writing.

If you think that writing romance is a quick way to make a fortune, forget it, she advises.

Writing is a craft to be learned, and one that can bring immense pleasure and satisfaction.

This book shows 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.

Tips from the Tops are included from some of the best-selling authors in the genre, including Catherine Cookson and Jilly Cooper who offer their writing advice.
