5.0 out of 5 stars A book that does what it says!, 25 Jun 2003
This review is from: A Straightforward Guide to Writing Romantic Fiction (Straightforward Guides) (Paperback)
If you want to learn all the nuts and bolts of writing romance, and you want to know the facts instead of ruffling through pages of flowery prose, this is the book for you.

Kate Walker's book does exactly what it says - it's a straightforward guide. She starts by making you think about why you want to write the book (motivation's as important for an author as it is for a character!!); then takes you through creating your characters and their dialogue, their setting, plot and conflict, viewpoint and love scenes; shows you how to craft a good beginning, middle and end; teaches you how to target and submit your work, reminds you about the 5 Ws (and one H),and even gives you a 12-point plan to help you work our what you need to do for your own book.

Kate really knows her stuff and it shows. This book is very clear, very honest - and has a sense of humour thrown in. For new romance writers, this is one of the best investments you could make in your career.
