Romancing the Beat: Story Structure for Romance Novels (How to Write Kissing Books)
Description
What makes a romance novel a romance? How do you write a kissing book?Writing
a well-structured romance isn’t the same as writing any other genre—something
the popular novel and screenwriting guides don’t address. The romance arc is
made up of its own story beats, and the external plot and theme need to be
braided to the romance arc—not the other way around.Told in conversational
(and often irreverent) prose, Romancing the Beat can be read like you are
sitting down to coffee with romance editor and author Gwen Hayes while she
explains story structure. The way she does with her clients. Some of whom are
regular inhabitants of the New York Times and USA Today bestseller
lists.Romancing the Beat is a recipe, not a rigid system. The beats don’t care
if you plot or outline before you write, or if you pants your way through the
drafts and do a “beat check” when you’re revising. Pantsers and plotters are
both welcome. So sit down, grab a cuppa, and let’s talk about kissing books.
