Written with KJ's signature mix of sharp wit and no-nonsense compassion, Think, Write, Edit, Romance respects the intelligence of romance writers and their often-dismissed genre. This is a guide for authors who take romance seriously and want to produce structurally sound and professionally polished work packed with tension and swoon-worthy scenes.
The book moves step by step through the stages of writing:
- The Blank Page helps you get started. This part tackles coming up with ideas, narrowing them down, and developing your embryonic concepts and conflicts into the shape of a book.
- The First Draft is about the hard bit: getting words down. There is an in-depth look at character building and plot arcs, along with more specific discussion of sex scenes, arguments, settings, and endings.
- Getting Unstuck discusses why writers get stuck on manuscripts and how to unstick yourself, as well as advice on when to take the hint and step away.
- Revision, Revision shows you how to clean up your manuscript at development, line, and copy-editing levels, saving you editorial time, fees, and pain. It warns you of "writing advice" you can ignore, and tells you how to negotiate your edits.
