Romance Writer's Sourcebook: Where to Sell Your Manuscripts (Romance Writers Sourcebook)


Editorial Review:

Writers ardent about romance will welcome this newest addition to Writer's Digest Books' market book line. Romance Writer's Sourcebook combines how-to-write instruction with where-to-sell direction--information useful to both new romance writers and those who long ago embraced the genre.

Romance Writer's Sourcebook is a thorough reference to a nearly billion-dollar industry that accounts for almost half of the mass market fiction books sold--177 million books annually. Articles by writers, editors, and agents discuss genre trends (paranormal romance, time-travel romance, romantic suspense), the craft and technique of writing romance, and marketing romance novels. Successful romance writers share the stories of how their first books came to fruition and publication. The final section divulges information on online services, conferences and workshops, Romance Writers of America chapters, and the like. You learn, from top editors in the field's many imprints, that they've been seeing "way too many replicas of The Bridges of Madison County," that one should "read many books in the line to which you plan on submitting.... twenty or more, not one or two," and that one ought to "avoid heroes or heroines who are artists (musicians, painters, actors).... There's a built-in perception, right or wrong, that artsy people are dull and unromantic."

Customer Reviews:

Avg. Customer Rating: 4.0 / 5.0

Outdated, but still some good info:

Romance Writer's Sourcebook is in serious need of an update. While the sections on craft, first sales, and anatomy of a sale are full of good information, the publisher and agent listings are outdated. It was a great reference when it was first published, but now it's just an okay book for a beginning writer.

A must for pre-published romance authors:

This is a truly marvelous book, packed with info for us yet-to-be-published romance authors. There's so much here that published folks might find the book useful, too.

Contents in brief:

"New Ground: the Evolution of Romance" and "The Groundbreakers" by Nora Roberts "Mind, Body, Heart and Soul: Creating Fully Developed Characters in Romance Fiction" by Suzanne Simmons "The Well-Chosen Words" by Evan Maxwell "Sense and Sensuality: Sexual Tension and Love Scenes in Romantic Fiction" by Stella Cameron... more info
