Ten Secrets

We’ll be giving you insights into good romance writing by sharing with you ten secrets that we’ve gleaned from some of the best romance writers in the world, and from our own writing successes and failures.

If you can make each of these work for you, you’ll have a humdinger of a Romance.

Into each secret, we’ve built a writing exercise just for you to practise on. When you’ve finished all ten, we’ll invite you to submit an assignment to us. We will give you constructive and friendly feedback. We promise to be honest, but we’ll always be kind.

 

Module One

This module is free. Don’t even think about it. Jump right in and start today. It’s about writing romance. In fact, it’s about writing anything - well, perhaps not manuals on automobile maintenance - but anything in the fiction line.

It forms your basic introduction to the writing life.

We will teach you how to find your own voice and write with fluency and conviction. Perhaps, most important of all, we will confirm your power to make the hearts of your readers beat that little bit faster.

Romance isn’t just about heroines and heroes. It’s about using the power of your unique voice to make your reader believe in the world you create for them.

This module, which prepares and leads you into both The Guide to Writing Romance and The Guide to Writing Lesbian Romance, consists of four short sections. We’ve designed it so that you’ll have fun trying a number of writing drills, while equipping yourself with skills.

The exercises will free your inner writer, develop confidence, banish self-conscious writing and grow your own writer’s voice.
