3.0 out of 5 stars
Good elements but too much filler,
By A Customer
This review is from: How to Write a Romance for the New Market and Get Published (Hardcover)
Kathryn Falk knows her romances, and has assembled a collection of short writings by various published romance authors that vary in usefulness. Some get down to the nitty-gritty, others just skim over the topic. There are many useful tips to be gleaned, however, about writing today's sex scenes, the "new" types of romances and so forth.The problem with the book is that Falk has inserted a lot of filler material, pages purporting to be "letters" from young, aspiring romance writers (who haven't actually written anything), and her own chatty replies to these letters which don't really convey a lot of hard-core information to the serious writer. In a future book, Falk should cut out all filler material, and replace it with writings from the romance authors who are in the trenches.

Kathryn's Advice Worked for Me,
By A Customer
This review is from: How to Write a Romance for the New Market and Get Published (Hardcover)
I picked up the book at the mall and skimmed through it. Although there was a lot in there that didn't interest me there was a lot that did. It gave a lot of helpful information on how to develop your book for the new markets. Her advice worked. I sold my first book in 2001, my second in 2002 and I sold a third book this January. Her formulas and methods worked for me. While they may not be helpful to everyone she has my sincerest thanks for guiding me into being a published author.
