The Romance Novel Formula Review:
If you have aspirations to write a great romance novel but don’t know how to start, you should get “The Romance Novel Formula.”
This book is the first one I have ever read that guides the reader on how to go about writing a romance novel. While the book targets romance, many key strategies apply to any genre. The author does a fantastic job organizing and categorizing the book. As such, it comes across as the perfect guide. As soon as you pick it up, you have no trouble following the directions and steps the author mentions.
She gives the fundamentals of a romance novel, with examples of modern and classic tales. She then proceeds to describe the characters, tone, atmosphere, setting, tropes, and dialogues (to name a few). I liked this book’s simplistic and interactive the author makes each chapter. She fills the chapters with exercises and examples that give you clear visibility of what to do.
Moreover, I enjoyed how the author also provides insight into what the audience looks for in a story. And how, one has to see the story from various angles. This include the mistakes people usually make, and things to avoid. Even though I am not aspiring to be a romance novelist, I would love to use this book as a benchmark to experiment on a first draft and see success.
Overall, “The Romance Novel Formula ” is an excellent guidebook to get if you want to write a romance novel. I hope the author provides such insights even for other genres to help aspiring authors (not romance enthusiasts) write their stories.
